while travelling i met a girl from Virginia who was on her way to law school, she was in her 4th overall year of studies out of 6-7 potential years she would be doing, at this point in her 4th year she was $65,000 into her student loans, HOWEVER, speaking with financial planners and government staff she learned that if she was to take her law school training into the public sector, virtually all of her student loan would be void as a public servant, her good planning and long-term outlook will most likely land her a good paying career with smart choices and planning.. not something the majority of people in school seem to choose to do..

I love seeing this stupid stories on the news lately about people with "families" moving back east because of housing prices, cost of living, etc. the first thing that comes to my mind is, Maybe you should have tried a little harder?

or.. maybe you couldnt afford to have a child at this point in your life?..

are normal hard-working people suppose to have sympathy for these stories of mass-exodus from the west coast due to cost of living between a family of 2 barista's trying to raise a child?

EDIT* Also like Penner2k has pointed out in a thread right here in VanOT, if your bitching about cost of living or cant get a job that gets you anywhere, go work in Alberta in the oil industry, saving up 80k over a couple years of work is more than enough to put down for a home, or even an investment property to further your finances, but of course, and especially here on RS, people rather complain then get their hands dirty.

13 FUCKING PERCENT UNEMPLOYMENT. YOU ARE DUMB

NOT EVEN MCDONALDS IS HIRING IN THE STATES
