Private student loans vs. Federal student loans. This country needs to come up with the option to make private student loans converted over into Federal student loans! Us people who were foolish enough to go to college on private loan money are left with wayyyy less options than people with Federal student loans. It 's not fair. I was a naive XXXX year old kid without a clue to what I was doing and this country 's educational system took advantage of me like they are doing to thousands of others. Something needs to be done and it needs to be done now, it 's a short life on this earth, why make it so hard?
