You nailed it. Period. Thank GOD you mentioned that. To go to school, you need marks AND an income (job). Job = less time for studying = drop in marks? = no degree and money wasted. HOWEVER, We HAVE no jobs, thanks to the government = debt after graduation. So, We spend thousands of dollars, go to school (if we're lucky), are in debt, have no jobs because there's none available, thus can't pay it off. Is school REALLY worth it now?

Thank you for pointing that out. Students these days take a huge? amount of student loan for a degree that is worthless for the labor market and complain.

College &? University education has simply turned into a "BUSINESS"....not to help students reach their goals & dreams, but to start them off in high debts (loans, credit cards, etc...) with NO GUARANTEED ROI !!! A student can pay $20k/yr on a student loan...but with no promise of getting into the career field of study! I think schools are a FRAUD! I hope more Canadians see the value of getting into Network Marketing to fuel their financial vehicle and free them!!

I am very fortunate growing up, but I have worked for what I have. I got a job in Grade 10 working part time throughout high school while maintaining an 85 average. Went to community college, paid for everything, brought 2 cars in that time, and then transferred? to uni to get a degree(2+2 program) I applied for a loan to help out with cost and the governments answer was I saved up TOO MUCH MONEY during that time, gave me 250 bucks (A JOKE) and that was it...now I have an IOU to my parents

There are lots of things I agree with here, but some things I think I are taken out of context.? Cost of inflation rises. So, yes, we are paying more for our education, but the worth of a dollar is completely different than in 1964 when our parents went to school. ANSSA should be focusing on early outreach programs to teach students about how their loans work and lobbying the government for a variety of grants - low income families, mature students, and textbook and technology.

You know what pisses me off? People that complain about student loans/debt. UNIVERSITY AND ANY SORT? OF POST-SECONDARY EDUCATION IS NOT A RIGHT, YOU ARE NOT ENTITLED TO GO TO UNIVERSITY, IT IS A GOD DAMN PRIVILEGE. If you do not have enough money to go to school...DON'T GO! Don't move to another province to go to school, learn how to manage your money, learn how to obtain a degree that is relevant to what society needs and stop living the belief of "my degree could be useful".

Actually, over 2200 students had roughly 3,000? in unmet need last year. That means they didn't even have enough money to cover tuition, groceries, rent and books.

- Yes, but a 20 hr/week part-time job can also take your average from a? 90 to an 80 or a 75 to a 65.... so if you want to go to grad school this kind of blows your chances.

I agree? that something needs to be down about the student debt in the Maritimes, but students need to make better choices for themselves too. How many University students spent over $100 this weekend alone, drinking at the bars. Probably more then 50%

Student debt is crippling for Maritime students. But there are options to lower your debt? amount before you graduate. 20hrs/wk at a part-time job can earn you over $8000 a year that you can put towards debt. Most students dont make any loan payments until their 4 year program is over.How many students eat out 5+ days a week or have $80+ per month cell phone bill.
