Default Re: Question about student loans

Hi Sniper,

Could you please elaborate on this, I don't understand what you mean.

I used the word "gambling" in response to another poster who used it to mean "any investment where there is the potential for loss". Of course I will not be doing any -EV gambling on borrowed money.

20K doesn't sound like that much to me, but the opportunity to add to my "life bankroll" at such a good interest rate with very little risk of losing any money has piqued my interest. Also note that I am in grad school to avoid working - as I've already had a well paid engineering job and hated it. I realize that is an issue yet to be dealt with.

Thanks,
DeathDonkey
