Nursing Degrees Just Got a Major Funding Blow

The Dept. of Education is dropping nursing from its list of 'professional degrees,' which means future grad students could get way less federal aid—like, half as much as med or law students. Nurses are already in short supply, and this move could make it even harder for people (especially from low-income backgrounds) to afford advanced nursing degrees. Nurses and advocates are seriously worried about what this means for healthcare and diversity in the field. #Education #Nursing #StudentLoans

Student Loan Default? Your Paycheck’s at Risk

Student loan borrowers in default, brace yourselves—wage garnishment is back starting January. About 1,000 people will get notices first, but it’s just the beginning. If you’re behind on payments, your paycheck could shrink soon. There are ways out, like loan rehab or consolidation, but they’re not quick fixes. If you’re in default, now’s the time to look at your options before your next payday takes a hit! #Education #StudentLoans #Debt

Student Loan Payments Just Got Real

If you’ve been enjoying lower payments, now’s the time to check your options so you’re not caught off guard. The takeaway? Don’t wait for the email—start looking at your next move now! #Business #MakeMoney #StudentLoans

Your Degree Just Got Demoted?!

The Department of Education just dropped a bomb: only 11 grad degrees are now considered “professional” for higher student loan limits. That means fields like nursing, accounting, and architecture got the boot. Some folks are upset about the status hit, but others say this could finally help shrink student debt and force pricey schools to chill on tuition hikes. Will this actually make college more affordable, or just make it harder to become a nurse or accountant? #JobCareer #StudentLoans #HigherEd

My plumber charges $150/hr with zero debt. I have a Master's and huge loans. Who's the fool?

I called a plumber today. He charged me $200 for 30 minutes of work. He laughed and said he's been making money since he was 20 and owns two houses now. Meanwhile, I bought the "you must go to college" lie, sitting here with $80k in student loans and a mediocre office salary. Are we all being scammed by the education system? Is a degree even worth the paper it's printed on anymore? #StudentLoans #CollegeScam #BlueCollar #Trades #Economy

Joe Rogan Slams Student Loans 💥

Joe Rogan just called student loans 'the dirtiest thing ever' on his podcast, and fans are losing it. He says it’s the only debt you can’t escape, even with bankruptcy, and called the whole system a scam. The real twist? His guest Jimmy Carr agreed, saying people were sold fake dreams with useless degrees. Now the fandom is split: is Rogan right, or is he just stirring the pot again? #Entertainment #JoeRogan #StudentLoans

Student Loan Forgiveness? Watch Out for the Tax Bomb

Heads up if you’re counting on student loan forgiveness: starting in 2026, you could get hit with a surprise tax bill of up to $10,000 on your forgiven debt. That’s because a temporary tax break is ending, and the IRS will treat forgiven loans like income. If you’re on an income-driven repayment plan, start stashing some cash now or look into IRS payment plans—don’t let this tax bomb blow up your budget! #Business #MakeMoney #StudentLoans

Student Loan Forgiveness lifted a weight off my shoulders.

I’ve been a public school teacher for 12 years. I love my students, but the crushing weight of my student loans made me question if I could afford to stay in this profession. I was paying hundreds a month, but the balance barely moved. Last month, I got the email: 'Your loans have been forgiven under PSLF.' I stared at the screen for an hour. For the first time in a decade, I can start saving for my own kids' college fund. It feels like the system finally loved me back." #PolicyChangedMyLife #StudentLoans #TeacherLife #PSLF #FinancialFreedom
