As far as paying for student loans off...many do go through programs designed to help get you off welfare or if you were made redundant or laid off from work...it keeps people from living off assistance...I doubt people are living high off the hog on any income assistance sort to speak...there is a cap in place...
The jobs that require some degree of certification/diploma can be in plumbing or electrical...or health care to name a few...it doesn't mean specifically university...as for people with student loans...there are supports in place to help those who want to upgrade or train/educate to enable them to be employed...if some forgiveness is made (student loans)...this could mean spending dollars going towards the community at large...local businesses...and a productive citizen...
I had a student loan years ago...it took a long time to pay off...interest rate...at 14% prime plus one...Canada has recognized this and made student loans easier to pay off...no interest payments as well as recognition of people in perpetual poverty...disabled or injured people and others...
RE: Get togethers?
Yes...they were good pics and put a face to many here...looked like fun times...
