After reading the Top Chefs Dreams article in the New York times, I think that those students took out so many loans because they have aspirations to follow in the footsteps of successful, professionals chefs such as the ones that are seen on T.V. But even though they invest so much money in loans, most of the time they don't even make it big time and cant get a job after graduating because they are in so much debt that they have to live paycheck to paycheck. I think that student loans are okay for some people that need a little extra help to pay their tuition, but I definitely think it should be used with moderation. Applying for loans of 40,000 dollars or more a year is just not worth it because by the time you graduate you will be in so much debt that you wont be able to find a job and pursue a career. Yes, I do plan on taking out a student loan to pay for the amount of tuition that financial aid didn't give me. The loan will be around 6,000 dollars which I think is a reasonable price and wont be too much of a burden to pay back when I graduate.
