An Investigation Finds That Millions of Students Are Taking on Dangerous BNPL Debt

[rachel83az]

The closest state school to me was Arizona State University. There is also University of Arizona and Northern Arizona University. None of these are cheap options. Very good schools, not cheap. It probably would've been cheaper for me to attend a mid-tier private school in another state instead of an Arizona school.

At one point, I seriously considered teaching for a few years (I forget the required minimum) because there is (or was) a program to pay off/forgive student loans for students who commit to teaching in disadvantaged school districts for a certain number of years. I think it's either 3 or 5 years. If you play your cards right, it's a good way to get an expensive degree for essentially nothing. When I looked, I think there was further incentive if you got a STEM degree in something like, Math or Computer Science, instead of a Humanities degree, like History or English.
