my only thing about loans is that i don't like the idea of going to a school and then oweing the gov't $80,000. and trying to pay that off while buying a house and getting married (assuming my life goes that route.) anyways i think i got all the info i need. unless there's something that nobody else mentioned i won't be replying. thanks guys.
You are thinking short sighted. College graduates make 76% more in their lifetime then an highschool or cc grad. So that being said, 80k would be hardly anything, compared to the benefit in the long run. The thing is also that 80,000 is basically interest free, the longer you do not pay it off, the less you have to pay. Assuming the rate stays below inflation. So if this is your only option, then the smart one would be to take out the loans.
