“Occupy Student Debt”? I Understand… But I Must Pay Up
I attended Oral Roberts University for ONE year studying Christian Education & Psychology. After seeing the amount of debt accumulated for that year, my parents said: “Come home…” I cried and cried… prayed asked God for a miracle so I could stay at ORU. But, to no avail.
I went home, started working as an accounting clerk and went to school part-time studying accounting. I continued working in the field of accounting for several years while preparing to do more meaningful work. I eventually got there.
Years later I do not regret it one bit. I’m degree’d in Liberal Studies and Business Communications, and have hard-core skills and work experience that allow me to fund into ministry work. Having graduated from a Holy Names University, a private, Catholic institution, I took out even more student loans. I am still paying for my education, but in my situation I believe I glorify God by paying my loans. However, (just as an FYI) I neither agree nor disagree with the Occupy Study Loan initiative – but I certainly understand.
