These loan are NOT wiped out in bankruptcy. They are never forgiven.
Well, you could die.

Teach yourself what you need/want to learn. Formal education is for the stupid.

OP, before applying for student loans to cover tuition costs, try these suggestions;
1) good academic grades
2) scholarship (s)
3) grants (some employers offer grants to their employees)
4) many states offer fee free courses for state residents who graduate from high school in their state and go to college the first semester after HS graduation (paid for by moneys from state lotteries)
Any little bit helps.

Employers who insist on formal grades are stupid too (except obviously for things like doctors etc). As a person who has and does hire and fire...the last thing I'm concerned about when interviewing someone is if someone has a degree or not, I focus on experience, common sense and the overall vibe I get from them. I've met more idiots with degrees than without.

University education historically was not concerned with professional training, it should surprise no one that it isn't ideally suited towards that end. What should surprise us is that the misguided middle class idea that college education is supposed to come with a promise of future employment seemed to hold up for so long.
Also the reason student loans are not forgiven in bankruptcy is because almost everyone graduating college has no assets. If it was most reasonable people would just default on their loans the second they graduated, the repayment rate would be so low no institution could break even on offering student loans.

Here in NC most employers even for entry level positions require a diploma even if it has nothing to do with the job you will do

I haven't had to show my diploma for any job I ever had except when I joined the military.

A lot of employers who claim to do background checks/employement/education checks etc, don't actually do them.
When I worked for Compaq/HP they did about 3 out of 10 checks on new hires.

The real question is...will a higher education actually make you happy in life?

Education is very important for your future survival as a functioning adult. The only people who disagree with this fact are children.

But education doesn't == college.
