He should be taking those loans out in his name since he's the one going to college, not his parents. If worst comes to worst, his parents can back him up financially. I have to pay for my entire tuition using student loans and I know plenty of others that do as well. I get really peeved when people complain about how they have to pay for their post-secondary education...like it should be given to you by your parents automatically. As long as he's enrolled full time in school he doesn't have to pay back those loans. Stay in classes, get a degree, find a job and pay off the loans. I get peeved by people who are born into wealth, like Paris Hilton. Moral of the post: Quit blaming the I'm the harder worker game. I'm not saying that I'm working harder, I'm saying there is a very accessable way to get it done. Blaming 'the system' is not an excuse.
