I do wish more young people would rally around a third party candidate. That would: 1) make Democrats more sensitive to our issues<br />2) really shake things up, which is necessary.<br /><br />Just tonight I was contemplating taking out $50K in loans vs $80K in loans for graduate school. The more affordable school is located in a state with a not so great economy and the more expensive school seems to have more employment opportunities for post-graduate work. I just can't see myself carrying 80K in loans so I'm going to go for the more affordable school with hopes of moving to wherever the jobs are.PensiveFashionistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11336102105425606108noreply@blogger.com
