I'm thinking an Alumacraft competitor 205 with a 200 yammy.

I might even at some point in the next ten years consider using it for guiding. Means its an investment right?


I bet I make more money with it than a liberal arts degree.

The better you are at being creative the more you chances for getting a hand out are .No need to confuse any one with facts.

In a related note the Secret Service announced over the weekend that they have recovered about 286 million dollars that where paid out under the Economic Injury Distress Loan program. The intention of the program was to help small businesses that where impacted by the Covid restrictions .. By using fake ID'S and filing false claims the program incorrectly paid 286 million According to the Secret Service spokesperson there is millions more to be recovered .But it might take years Meanwhile those people that got their money the old fashioned way "they earned it "are supposed to feel bad for those that are as they said being treated unfair .Well in the real world life an'it fair

Id be more specific and call it “Pell Grant”. I think theyll pay back up to 20k for those. No sense in stopping at 10k.

We can make fun of the college educated, but when I hear what a couple of my nephews are starting at, one with a civil engineering degree and one with a masters in business it makes those $23 per hour starting wage jobs look pretty shabby. I know a person who manages a WalMart, he has a business degree, he is in his late 30s and well over 120K before bonuses. Not everyone who goes to college gets worthless degrees or is not capable of making a decent living.

Sure. But if they make that kind of money, nobody else needs to pay back their loans. And if they don’t, we shouldn’t pay back the loan just because of their poor decision to get a worthless degree. There is no way this can be painted in a positive light.

I did 4 years in university. I left owing about $2700.

My parents covered tuition the first two years, which was about $2600/ year.

A drop in the bucket compared to the rest of the costs.

I worked construction all summer, saved up some, lived in a tent in the bush for a year, and even worked Fridays and weekends....lived on Sidekicks, eggs, baked beans and snared rabbit from on campus. Peaches in a can were awesome.

I didn't drink, applied for bursaries, and at Christmas family would give me gift cards to restaurants.

I found a way to not go into debt, and it didn't involve wealthy family bailing me out.

Forgiving student debt is yet another way of coddling society and removing responsibility for prior actions.


You took out a loan
Pay it back.






Or perhaps find a way to avoid the loan, or don't go to university.


It's not mandatory.

I thought that too. There's good education and there's "poor education". I think liberal arts was mentioned, not engineering or business.
I know a Mormon fella that got a business degree, then went to dental school. He makes money while he sleeps at night.
