Summary: In the book "they say I say" I read a essay called "A Lifetime of Student Debt? Not Likely. In this essay many different people talk about how students go into school debt because of lack of knowledge. Or they go into debt because they go to a school way out of their price range for the fact that it is their dream school. The essay also talks about how a student takes out to many loans and are not able to pay them back in the future because the degree of certificate they obtained may not land them a high paying job. which means they wont be able to pay back their student loans and they then will go into debt.

Response: I really found this essay rather interesting. Because I always hear how a student will have to work the rest of their life to pay off a student debt and how student loans are so bad. But I never hear the other side that a student just dosent know what they are getting into when they get a student loan. The student may just have lack of knowledge and that is the reason they go into student debt. I like how this essay gives another view on student loan debt. It  also shows that maybe its not the loans that are the problem, but maybe its the lack of knowledge when getting a student loan is the problem.
