I also worked, and took out loans, all through college. I was also lucky enough to have a boss who allowed me to work when I came home for breaks. I never considered not paying my loans back, but, now it seems we’ve entered the AGE OF ENTITLEMENTS!— for certain people only.

There used to be the Illinois State Scholarship for needy students. The ones of us who got money were told up front that if we did not pay the loans back it would affect future students from getting money. After graduation we were given a year (to get a job and get ourselves set up) before starting to pay back the loan. I paid back every penny but since the scholarship no longer exists most students did not pay back the money. It was even on the news that some students were refusing to pay back the loans for various stupid reasons.

I worked all 4 years at various jobs at the college. Luckily Sears hired me back Christmas and summer vacations. It’s like students today run up big bills for college expecting them to be forgiven by the government.

Where’s the work ethic nowadays?
