Yes it has. But you should also look up the discounting rates. Essentially no one at my state school pays list price. And we're in financial crisis because other places discount even more heavily.
I'm in the same boat. I graduated in 2007 and my student loans are down to around $1000 and will be paid off in the next couple months so it doesn't hugely effect me, but it's galling that after so many years of paying Im not eligible for anything because my gvmt loans were sold to a private servicer.
In the '70's a top-level engineering school was about $7500 a year. So $30k for 4 years. A state university degree was less: much less. The increase in cost of education has greatly exceeded the general inflation rate.
Which is one of the issues that the PSLF program was supposed to address, in that if a law school graduate worked under a DA as a public defender for 10 years or whatever, they'd have their loans written off and then could go on to one of the more lucrative private positions.
I'm business school, not law school, but from what I understand, it didn't work out that way.
Agree. That was a tough year for the Ohio D's, and their candidates (at least when I saw them) were uninspiring. It is not enough to be intelligent and capable; you need to have some kind of spark or fight as well to inspire people to get out and vote. Cordray is intelligent and well-meaning, but does not project well, and nor did the other down-ballot candidates, except for the two candidates for Ohio Supreme Court (both of whom won). That's my recollection, anyway.
My best friend from college is a veterinarian. She owed $300K by the time she was done with school. Her starting salary out of her program was $80K. She's since topped three figures, barely, but had to move back in with her parents because her interest was still growing faster than she could pay off the principal when she also had to pay rent, utilities, and bills.

You should. I'll join you.

I was also denied after working in government. It’s all a sham. Shocked I am to learn America is rigged for banks and big corporations.
It’s officially rigged this way by design so they officially think we can officially yell at our pillows.
We exist to put money in their pockets. Period.
Would cost money, and some might go to Those People, you know, the blahs and maybe even the foreigns.
Mine are all paid off, and I agree with you.
It only hurts when I think about it. Lol!
These are civil, but...

One thing that helped was the State of Illinois waved tuition for Vietnam vets who at the time were the current crop.

I believe that the current season of their 'reality' show will be the last, so TV should be deCaitlynized before too long.
