How much college debt did you finish with (and what kind)?

[uberman]

I have a masters degree plus 2 years of post graduate work. First 6.5 years were paid by scholarship so it turned out to be free full ride. I worked so hard to get that scholarship that it would have been easier to simply pay for college.

I took out a $2,200 loan and paid it off 6 months after graduating. I worked while completing my masters. I paid for that and finished in 1.5 years with a GPA of 3.88. I graduated in 2000.

Masters program was 9K, by the time I finished it went up to 15K.

I went to a JC and worked. Finished it with no debt. Transferred to a UC, grants covered all of the tuition, took out about $2k per quarter for living expenses, graduated with around $14k.
Gradschool at USC is another $50k, plus interest accured, so I'm going to end up with about $70k.

Graduated with $0. Full scholarship.

All education is free in Sweden. I did take a loan of about $13k for living costs, though.

Umm, I seriously doubt its free. Its likely paid for by taxes.

If you're studing pharmacology you could keep studying in the field of biochemistry to become one of the few.

My son has finished his eight years (one less in Britain, we're one year smarter than you from birth) and will continue his study in the field of biochemistry once he's done with his service.

The employment rate is 100% and most are overpaid from any workplace in comparison to other venues.

You tell lots of stories buddy.

Why this motherfucker is not banned I will never know, but for anyone interested in who the fuck this lying piece of shit is, enjoy.

So at various times, this lying piece of shit has claimed service as a member of the IDF, the Swedish navy, the German army, and of course, the SAS. Also claims service as "a UN soldier," whatever the fuck that means. Conveniently for JoS/JakeAgnew/PowerSwede/Klixxer, many of his units are designated "401", so he doesn't have to get a new tattoo every time he changes personalities or national allegiance.

Somehow in between his door-kicking ninja squirrel missions in service to nations around the globe, he has also managed to find the time to earn advanced degrees in law? and biochemistry, and dabbles in Swedish national championship level bodybuilding.

A real Renaissance (Recognizance?) man.

The funny thing is that I actually believe he served in some military capacity at some point in time, but he has so muddied the waters with lies on top of lies that it is impossible to decipher what is actually true. About the only thing that's clear is that his constant lying and multiple personae point to some underlying pathology. Chemical imbalance? Head injury? Who the fuck knows?

Seek help, dude. Or jump off a cliff. Either one would serve.

No one buys them any more.

25k - Stafford Loans (like 2.5% interest rate)

My "victory lap" did me in - it took me from 15 to 25k because I lost other support after 4 years.

Got out with nothing too major. Kids these days coming out with garbage degrees and tens of thousands in debt are going to help to reset things for the next generation. They are in a unique credit bubble now as far as college is concerned.

As this guy says: http://thelastpsychiatrist.com/2012/11/hipsters_on_food_stamps.html

The only thing the English grad is "qualified" for in this economy is the very things s/he is already doing: coffeehouse agitator, Trader Joe's associate, Apple customer.................................................. and spouse of a capitalist.
