Thanks I needed that! Sort of how I feel about my personal situation lost everything due to two people being seriously ill, despite having supposedly good medical insurance. Did not file bankrupty but couldn't buy a hot dog on credit and this after working all my life, never being late with a payment and not asking to have cancer and a heart condition. Of course, I also wanted my 19 year old to become mentally ill and the government not provide any programs for him and $80,000.00 in debt for hospitalizations (for those of you who don't know it our wonderful government only makes insurance companies provide 50% coverage for the same medical coverage they would provide for any other treatment). Bipolar and schizo are physical impairments (brain chemistry), but they are only paid at 50% of the approved charges. After reaching my sixities and realizing that I no longer am considered a good person (because my credit is in shambles and my husband's portfolio was eaten up by medical bills), I learned the hard way about being humble.
Student loans are dangerous and so is the better than though attitude of a lot of people. You never know when you can lose everything through a job loss, an illness or two family members becoming ill, it doesn't matter how good you did in the past, you are judged by the present. Personally, I feel that part of this young man's problem should be blamed on the culniary school and some of his debt should be forgiven. Not all, but some.
