That was a joke, I said something like I am going to go back to school just for the loans.... I didn't really look at that as a legit option until yesterday.
I don't know the exact details of Emily's student loans but I know it is a huge issue in her life and is one of the reasons she is handcuffed to her lower middle class status. She actually does something incredibly important as a society contributor, yet she only makes around 30K after 4 years of full time college at Uconn, and another 4 years on the job kinda sad, i doubt she can get those loans off her back anytime in the next decade.
I am also not super up to speed on politics and all that stuff, but I do know that she had to turn down a 1.50 an hour raise because it put her in a weird spot where she would spend more in health care a year because of her income than she would make up for in the raise amount by a lot... which on the surface seems kind of a fucked up thing to me.
Pooh, you have any interest in doing recorded phone conversations with me? I kinda have an idea for you to be a supporting member of the project with weekly or bi weekly phone conversations giving me some perspective on the future etc.
