[quote:Anonymous Coward 77413322:MV8zOTkwNjkzXzcyMjIwMDUyX0REODNGMTU=] [quote:oniongrass:MV8zOTkwNjkzXzcyMjE5ODExX0M0MDZDRjQ5] The college tuition model is partly at fault. On a campus, kids are paying all different tuition rates. Some are paying full price. Usually, those are ordinary (not great) students whose parents have a good income, so the FAFSA "expected family contribution" is high. Some really good students, or relatively good minority students, are getting substantial merit aid. Some kids are getting student loans and grants because they don't have a lot of money. Most colleges give a lot of loans, not grants. There are other special categories too. Athletes, etc. The experience is so expensive, and the payments vary so much from student to student, that a spirit of unfairness pervades the situation. Some kids are incurring life-altering debt, some other kids with a "hook" are getting it for free. So if there's some way to beat the system, there's not a lot of moral social pressure involved. Colleges think this is OK because it allows them to target aid where they want, to "mold" their student body. But people notice. [/quote] That pissed me off when I went to a business school. This Hispanic young woman had a free college ride because she was an immigrant, BUT, she came from a wealthy family overseas. Pissed me off to no end. [/quote]

LAKELAND, Fla. (WFTS) — Nearly 1,000 health care workers have lost their license to practice in Florida because they can’t repay their student loans – a new crackdown potentially putting hundreds out of work, the I-Team found.
The move to suspend health care licenses comes after federal student loan companies spent years lobbying states to adopt laws to punish those who default on student loans by taking away their professional licenses.
But an ABC Action News review found Florida is the only state enforcing those laws.
Investigative Reporter Adam Walser uncovered the state’s Board of Health suspended more than 900 health care licenses – including professional certifications for registered nurses, Certified Nursing Assistants, pharmacists and opticians – in the just the past two years alone.
