Technorati Tags: , , ]]> Thu, 14 Feb 2008 08:50:27 GMT Open Question: I need help deciding on a college Degree? http://bestconsolidationstudentloan.com/college-student-loan/i-need-help-deciding-on-a-college-degree.html
I've always heard that you HAVE to get a credit card to build credit. Is this seriously the only option? I just don't want one. I'll eventually get one for emergencies, but for now, I don't need or want one. And I think that it's insane that society is making people who are barely adults get credit cards to "build credit." It's a vicious cycle I'm choosing to stay out of, but of course one day I'll have to join it to buy a house.

Is my not having a credit card now going to bite me in the ass by the time I'm going to be buying a house, 5-7 years from now? By then I'll have started paying back my student loans, which I know builds credit.

Open Question: I need help deciding on a college Degree?


I've already been to college once and withdrew from my program after I decided I did not enjoy it. I now have about 80 credit hours I can transfer into another program but because I am 30k in debt to student loans I do not want to rush into another degree I wouldn't not enjoy. Honestly, not to sound conceited, I do not think there is any program beyond my ability to complete. I took education very seriously in grade school and I am also very artistically inclined. So, here is what Interests me but I can not think of any type of career it would apply to.

The bottom line is that I would love to do any type of humanitarian work that will help future generation. Urban/park development... social responsibility... something along those moral lines.
I enjoy: welding, painting, working with animals of all types (land and sea), architecture, history, english, writing, TRAVELING, expeditions, designing space layouts, landscaping, building and organizing projects.

anything is a huge help! In case you are wondering: my degree was a Digital media production major. In encompassed film, recording arts, webdesign, lighting, and sound.

In the past 5 years of going to college: BA and MPA.

They are nice and decent on the price. However, I have decided to go back to college and I was planning on paying for my college while I was in school that way I wouldn't have a student loan to pay off. We have been on a waiting list so the guy that owns the apartments called me and told me they have a opening. We have to make a decision today because these apartments get gone quick. So I guess my question is... should we continue living at home with our parents until I atleast get my associates degree (and pay for my college while I'm still in school) or should we go ahead and move out and just get a student loan? We can't afford to pay both the bills and my school. And when we move out we'll only have $50 a week for "fun" money.

Resolved Question: My brother is looking into filing bankruptcy, is that bad?


My brother has over 97,000 dollars in personal student loans, plus 60,000 in credit card debt, all accrued during college. All his debt was due to him paying for studnt supplies, tuition ect. He now has a good paying job, however his salary does not come close to covering his loans and credit card payments. He has mentioned filing bankruptcy as he can't pay rent, utilities ect and tjhe other payments. I told him to contact a credit counseling group, and when he did they told him to get a second job, which his work schedule will not allow for. I don't want to see him make a mistake, any tips? I feel bad for him, he is a good kid. He got great grades, but his HS college couselor did not assist very much in helping kids with their options, she really pushed all the kids to join the army or something to that effect. He worked his butt off in college and now has a great job with the leading company in his field. There is NO time for him to take another job, he works 7 days a week right now, and often has to travel for work. If bankruptcy is his only option, fine, I just don't want him to get pushed in the wrong direction, and me being the big sis....he always hits me for advice! THANKS!! He does not live a big spending lifestyle. He lives with me. I feed him, help him with money when he is really short, ect. He tries to give me money when he can, however his paychecks are literally GONE with student loans/credit payments. I would not help him if he were living it up and not reponsible. However, this kid is really struggling and I don't know how else to help him.

Being a student, I don't have enough credit to get an independent loan right now without a cosigner. I tried to see if I could get a loan on Sallie Mae a month ago for $30,000 and was denied. My parent that would probably qualify to get me government money right now while I have dependent status will not fill out the required tax information for me to get any money, so I can't fill out the FAFSA until I'm an indpenent student I need concrete certainty that I will be able to finance those months before any loans kick in. Is there any possible way to get the money I need through a private loan without a cosigner? I do have a credit card now--I did go over my limit and am on payment plan but plan to have it payed off by April--I've been paying above the minimum amount significantly and it is well beyond my credit limit now--so I'm sure this has affected my credit rating--this has been a matter of 4 months--but everything is on time now and before that I had another card with good payment history that I cancelled to apply for this card. I there any kind of loan option where I can get the money I need to finance my last year or should I apply for a smaller incremental loan and then the rest at a later date--I don't want to damage my rating, but if I do not have a gurantee that I can get a loan, I cannot finish school. What other options are out there? I'm really frustrated--I've gone to the school--and they tell me basically I have to try out the options on my own. Is it possible to get this loan now while I'm still dependent without a cosigner?

I'm 18- going to college and basically the deal is that I'm short 3K each year, my family is going to get a student loan (All 3 of us got 73K) and after I graduate we are going to pay it off by spliting the 12 thousand dollar loan equally (to also build my credit history!). So I'm not looking into spending the money except to pay my portion of my tuition thats not covered by grants and stuff.
The money means a lot to me so I dont want to risk losing it. I have no idea what any of this investment stuff means or how to make a good share of money off of it.

Resolved Question: What should I tell my parents?


I'm in college and I want to get my Phd in anthropology so I can do research and be a college professor. However, my parents hate the idea b/c they want me to be a pharmacist so I can make 6 figures out of college. But I hate science and could care less about chemistry. It's not that I'm not smart enough, I always do well in classes I just don't enjoy the material. What I enjoy is learning about people and their interactions with others. They tell me I'm being selfish b/c I'm not considering what they want for me. They also say $55,000 starting pay is horrible (b/c that is what the school I attend pays starting profs). I just don't know what to say to make them listen. The told me I need to leave school until I come to my senses, b/c they aren't going to waste money on "this crap".

How easy is it to get student loans, so I can pay for school myself? I did study pre-pharmacy for a year and spent my summer working in a pharmacy and I hated it! But my parents just don't get that.

I have an M.A degree/ solid work experience/great references. However, I've always had a hard time getting decent-paying jobs ( I interview well too). I'm over 30 and make money in the low--mid 20K range ( full time, with no benefits). I like my jobs but can't afford to live. My working life, I've been poor...and my students loans are over $200 a month. My 6 siblings, on the otherhand, have a comfortable lifestyle and all bought houses. 3 of my siblings finished high school and 3 actually dropped out of high school...and guess what? They all make much more money than me! I'm considered the "loser" in the family and its getting to me. My parents don't understand how a college-grad could have such a hard time in life. I'm sorry to be self-indulgent here, but who shares a similiar plight? How do I get family off my back? I don't mean to sound like snob with a college degree and expect a lavish lifestyle. I just can't understand why I can't afford to live in the real world. My siblings are smart and their hard work experience got them to where they are...I actually regret going to college and wish they did what they did...working up in the world. I realize I may sound materialist and equate money=success, but that is not the case. The problem is that I can barely live. I have huge dental work that needs to be done and have no insurance to do so. My student loans are killing me. I live in a 1 bedroom practically on skid row.
