$70k at 6% is $350/mo -- if you only pay $350/mo, you're gonna have this story to tell I guess...

A lot of people are talking about this but no one will do anything about it.<p>It&#x27;s fun to get outraged and all. But how do we actually change it?<p>This is one reason I actually really like code camps. I got my bachelor&#x27;s kicking and screaming because I knew most of the stuff I was learning was completely irrelevant. These code camps cut right through all the bullshit. In fact nowadays maybe you would question the intelligence of somebody who got a four-year degree to become a programmer?

I feel like the financing of education is messed up.<p>I also worry about these tragic stories where adults took irresponsible actions and they&#x27;re simply cast as victims.<p>I don&#x27;t like the system or the problem... I&#x27;m not sure I see the problem as starkly as some do....
