>> Q: I have 4 degrees and owe $197K in student loans. What should I do? A: Pay it back.. It's a(-nother) symptom of a society heading in the wrong direction, when (((it's))) approving student loans without realistically assessing the potential return on the investment.. In Denmark there's a cap on how much time you can invest in education when on government support, which includes student loans (that incidentally has a pretty low interest rate). This have effectively combatted the economically non-viable 'eternity-students', holding degrees in "worthless" skill and knowledge.
