But "society" or whatever you want to call it said I have to get a degree if I want to go anywhere in life...so I went and got one. And I didn't go to some out of state liberal arts college, I started at community college and got some credits since it was cheaper and went on to get my Bachelors in Business Management from Metro State and I STILL have $45k in loans personally (and then add on another $20k from my wife). I did what I was told I HAD to do to get ahead and I'm getting screwed you know where because of it. I've said it here before, but I regret going to college every day. It's not worth starting with such a deficit when you are young and trying to start your life with a wife/kids/house. Student loans are downright predatory, plain and simple.

With all of that said, if someone comes along to offer me student loan forgiveness, I won't let them finish their sentence before accepting it. I could care less where the money comes from, I'm taking it and running. Because if student loans were gone from my life, I could actually start making my money work for me. And then I could work a job for $35k-$40k and it wouldn't be an impossibility to live on.
Britches in a bunch?

You made a bad choice that you have to pay for. If you want someone else to pay for your bad decision, then YOU ARE THE PROBLEM.
