This young lady has a degree from New York University. She also has $97,000 in student loan debts. I read the article and could not find what she studied buth they do say she can't find a job. Wanna make a bet Peaches took a bunch of liberal arts/humanities courses.

She's 26, but her face looks well over 40.

No, wait, she's got a tattoo on her arm.  That says "26".

The real kicker here is the fact that the gubmint is pushing for more and more suckers ... er, wimmin, to start college. Munna went to NYU. Those that go to Ivy League colleges owe way more dough.

I just emailed the link to my daughter; she's starting Barnard in the fall to the tune of $58,000/year, and her mother is a permastudent who sounds exactly like the mother in the article. I sincerely hope that it isn't them who will be the subject of a similar article five years from now...  :angryfire:

I'm all for a school or loan company asking if someone making $25k a year can afford a $100k loan. But the gov will step in and say that is round about discrimination.

And yes, what did she study that was worth $100k, why should we pay for it when it was obviously her choice and if higher education is so great how come she can't get a job.

Isn't making someone else pay your way through college so you can potentially earn a million dollars more over your lifetime the very definition of the word "greed".

And how come none of the pro - "Pay all my college bills" people ever get on the college for charging so damn much for education? You better be a god damn ninja master after taking those classes. What is $40k buying? A degree at a snooty college somewhere?

A state school could have shaved a huge chunk off that bill even if only to start with. I have no sympathy. I have two school loans, one for me and one for my son. We have to pay them, so can she.

There are always two extremes....the truth lies in the middle.

I'm also suspecting that men and boys are actually SMARTER than we think. We think men and boys not going to college is some sort of bad thing. I'm seeing it as a good move. That maybe boys are realizing that the $100k or $300k burden is not worth the return.

BTW the claim is the AVERAGE is 1 mil over a lifetime for a higher education. So if you take 98 people who make squat and 2 people who make 10 mil plus, the average will probably come out to 1 mil.

An average is MEANINGLESS and supposed college educated people should know this. I think so called dumb boys have figured this out. That they are pursuing tech training and other course or doing state colleges instead. That a Masters don't mean jack if its history of the antarctic or flower arrangement or English Lit.

I know a guy who is thinking of getting a PhD in Queer Studies. WTF? What on earth is the point of THAT?


YOu HAVE to look at what the return on investment is for an education. I spent 16,000 for a 2 year degree at a state school. I doubled my pay for the next two years, which made the degree worth it. Plus the 2 yr degree opens doors for me that otherwise would have been closed. I did not need to spend $100,000.

So I am not the only one that could not find what she studied.  I thought I was just mis-reading the article. But yes an education from an Ivy League school and can't find a job, yeah I smell a basket weaving major.

Google is your friend... sometimes anyhow.

"The New York Times blog posted More on Cortney Munna's Student Loan Tale as a follow-up to the piece they published earlier in the week: Placing the Blame as Students Are Buried in Debt which detailed how Cortney racked up $100,000 in student loan debt at NYU while pursuing her interdisciplinary degree in religious and women's studies."

MAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA a hundred grand for that?  Are you effing kidding me?

Thanks TMOTS!

My suspicions are confirmed. She did major in basket weaving, now if she had gone to a state school and studied engineering or nursing or some other marketable skill
she would be able to find a job and have half the debt. But hey math and science are too hard and biased against girls.....

Give you an idea on how worthless a degree is, the old guy who helped me at Home Depot claimed to have a PhD in physics and engineering. I asked him a few physics questions and he got them right so it seems plausible. If it is true, that degree didn't get him very far. Wonder how much money he wasted.

And yeah, WTF are you buying for $100k in a Womens Studies course? Are there male body builders giving back rubs or something?

Here's the thing. I think ever decent woman like Biscuit Queen should take this woman out behind the tool shed and give her a good beating with a rubber hose. Think how much was wasted on this woman that could have gone to a woman who took a doctors degree or cancer researcher degree.

In a socialist, gov planned society there is NO WAY this woman would be allowed to spend the states money on this crap. We hear about countries like Sweden offering free education but I would be interested in what the really offer and what is really taken and where they say "NO F&CKING WAY!"

Eddication from previous graduates of Women's Studies programs who successfully conned themselves into academia. They want to make a decent living, no?

Womens Studies should be prosecuted under The RICO Act, as the racket it is.

I think what also needs to be added here is WHO WOULD HIRE HER?

Granted, we don't like womyn's studies and the academic feminists very much ...

But, look at it from an employer's point of view - and this article proves what I'm about to say:

She's an entitled femi-princess who got sold a bill of bigotry goods, and now this "strong independant woman" is whining for daddy gov't to clean up her financial mess.

As an employer I'd look at her resume, and see "Womyn's Studies" and think : "Potential Lawsuit waiting to happen" - she'd not get promoted, BHAM - lawsuit.  She'd get into a snit with a co-worker, BHAM lawsuit.  She'd not get preferencial treatment and a corner office "due to her gender" (in her mind) and BHAM, lawsuit.

And, not only that, but women like her, IMO, from my own experience, LOVE to network and get others who think like her hired and gain more and more power and influence and soon the company has a bunch of politically motivated man-haters whose priorities are their agenda, and not the health and bottom line of the company.

WHY would a boss want to hire that nightmare?

Just sayin'
