My estimate is from his undergrad university's website for cost to attend. According to his LinkedIn page, he got a Bachelors & Masters of Criminal Justice. Then he added on a Masters in Pastoral Studies / Counseling. Now he works in campus ministry for another school.
I don't begrudge him any of that. A person should have a right to study whatever they want...and even change directions academically if they want.
But they don't have a right to do things they can't afford, and then demand others pay him for his lack of personal responsibility.
For him to act like he has a right to have others pay for it because he wasn't financially responsible...for him to pretend that he was promised that as part of the American dream...that, as Chris would say, is utter bullshit.
He went to expensive schools rather than state schools. He got 3 degrees that couldn't pay his loans.
Total. Bullshit.
I was first year college in my family, like this guy. I went to an expensive school too. But, I got a degree with a high average paying salary...I didn't pursue a hobby degree. And, I joined the Army and earned a scholarship to pay the lion's share of the cost...and committed to time in the service after graduation as a personal cost for that. Cheaper states schools were an option, but I decided it was worth it to pay for ND. That was my decision. I would never ask this jackass to pay for my education.
But, if he gets his paid for, I want to be reimbursed my cost as well. And, I want to be paid back for all my kids I sent to college. Fair is fair.
