I remember when the CDN gov't gave control of the student loans to the Royal Bank, I thought that was a bad move
Its sad that people have to take loans at all but a lot of people incur huge debt for a degree that there are no jobs for, marine bioligist comes to mind, or rack up a huge student loan for a degree that when applied doesn't pay all that well.
IMO a lot of people don't crunch the numbers and just get "a degree at all cost" and then realize that they don't make the money they thought they would and end up not really liking the job.
I did a numbers cruntch and got out of collage and got into a speciality trade and from the start made more money than the project managers with their degree's, sure my job was tougher and longer hours but I didn't care about that, I wanted money and time off.
IMO the trades are over looked and a collage degree is the path taken but sadly that comes with loans.
