  2. I'm guessing you couldn't get an interest-free loan.

  6. For profit schools, especially in the trades, came to be as a result of corporations cutting back and/or completely eliminating their apprentice programs. Initially these schools provided a needed service but as with all things the hustlers and scammers came into the business and corrupted the entire process. Now a kid has to be on the hook for tens of thousands just to get an entry level position when some simple OJT would do just as well.
    The fix, while not perfect, is for these for-profit schools to be under strict scrutiny before any federal loans are approved and those loans should be at a very low rate of interest. The bigger problem, much, much bigger, are the so-called traditional colleges where the average student learns absolutely nothing of value for the job market and is saddled with enormous debt. These schools need to undergo a complete overhaul with most of the programs they offer being shitcanned.

  7. This thread is not about the SC. It is about education (and the financing of it). Which requires some focus...

    There are certainly loans for trade schools. And yes, those loans should be interest free, with only service fees.

    As to helping them build a business there are many programs for that as well, which are often times low or no interest rate.
