My last day of mental relaxation…..and as usual there is something that I need to get off my chest before I return to the world of brainless political news…..
College tuition are going up at an outlandish rate….soon NO one in the middle class will be able to afford college and be destined to live a mediocre life…..but wait! If you are a female there could be an answer to your college tuition dilemma……
In an article written by Amanda Fairbanks for the HufPo……..
…….faced with about $15,000 in unpaid tuition and overdue bills, Taylor and her roommate typed “tuition,” “debt,” and “money for school” into Google. A website called SeekingArrangement.com popped up. Intrigued by the promise of what the site billed as a “college tuition sugar daddy,” Taylor created a “sugar baby” profile and eventually connected with the man from Greenwich. (“Taylor” is the pseudonym she uses with men she meets online. Neither she nor any of the other women interviewed for this article permitted their real names be used.)In her profile on the site, Taylor describes herself as “a full-time college student studying psychology and looking to meet someone to help pay the bills.” Photos on the site show her in revealing outfits, a mane of caramel-colored hair framing her face. But unlike other dating sites, where a user might also list preferred hobbies or desired traits, Taylor instead indicates preferences for a “sugar daddy” and an “arrangement” in the range of $1,000 to $3,000 a month.
Saddled with piles of student debt and a job-scarce, lackluster economy, current college students and recent graduates are selling themselves to pursue a diploma or pay down their loans. An increasing number, according to the the owners of websites that broker such hook-ups, have taken to the web in search of online suitors or wealthy benefactors who, in exchange for sex, companionship, or both, might help with the bills.
Imaginative ways to pay off your tuition debate……but how will this play in the legal system? And what about guys? Can they play the gigolo to find financing for their massive debt?
It is sad that women must turn to this type of repayment plan…after all this is the world’s “greatest nation”, right? And it sounds like something from the 18th century where women had to go into prostitution to pay off debts….is this a nation to be proud of?
