I have a friend who's going to UTI's Marine Mechanics Institute program in Orlando. The cost of just the Marine part is over $46K. He's also taking their Diesel and Refrigeration Tech courses, too, so his bill is actually over $60K for the total 15 mth programs. He's from out of state so he needed a place to stay for the 15 mths and decided to live at their student housing. That's another roughly $18K. So, for just 15 mths, he's on the hook for almost $80K. FOR 15 MTHS!!
No debt forgiveness for him because it's a trade school. The market for quality Marine Techs is ripe for the taking, though, so he'll be ok. But damn.
Meanwhile, I know practicing BAR certified lawyers that still have almost $100K in student loan debt, who graduated law school over 20 yrs ago. They all have successfully had their law school bills forgiv n under Chynah Joe's program. These lawyers live in expensive HOA developments, driv exp naive foreign cars and Teslas, and a couple have net worths in the 7 figures, yet they had their loans forgiven??!!
Truth!! Here's a story about this:

Makes no fucking sense to me.
You picked out a good example of our government favoring one group of people over another.
