Re: Student loans why don't some people pay them back? said by dragonfly:
I can afford to pay it back, but $300/mo for 15 years is quite a lot for anyone.
it's peanuts compared to a mortgage.
as well, had you not made that investment in yourself, instead of a decent job paying $55k/year, perhaps you would be pouring coffee for $25k/year...the ROI on your education is only a few years (factoring in your taxes, etc)...that's a pretty significant improvement.

Anyhow, the point being, I myself would not have qualified for the "free tuition" under the Nordic system due to a low GPA out of high school.
then you work to improve your marks, or you save up your own money and go (which is what you did, with student loans)...either way, you are better off.
and good for you for going back to school and bettering yourself.
