The largest bank in the United States will stop making student loans in a few weeks. JPMorgan Chase has sent a memorandum to colleges notifying them that the bank will stop making new student loans in October, according to Reuters. The official reason is quite bland. "We just don't see this as a market that we can significantly grow," Thasunda Duckett tells Reuters. Duckett is the chief executive for auto and student loans at Chase, which means she's basically delivering the news that a large part of her business is getting closed down. The move is eerily reminiscent of the subprime shutdown that happened in 2007. Each time a bank shuttered its subprime unit, the news was presented in much the same way that JPMorgan is spinning the end of its student lending.* -more- *did someone mention housing? Yep, it's another housing bubble Four months ago something troubling happened in the housing market. The home price affordability index tracked by the National Association of Realtors slipped below it's long-term trend line, marking a possible beginning of a housing bubble. On Monday, we got the fourth month of home affordability data coming in below trend, which is a strong confirmation that the housing market is once again in a bubble. (The NAR index is published with a two-month delay, so the latest numbers are for July). The affordability index measures the household income needed to qualify for a traditional mortgage on a median-priced single family home. So it's looking at a mortgage with a 20 percent down payment and a monthly payment below 25 percent of income at the currently effective rate on conventional mortgages. When the index is at 100, that means that a household earning the median income has exactly the amount it needs to qualify for a conventional mortgage on a median-priced home. When it is above 100, it signals that the median income is higher than needed to qualify for a mortgage. An AI score of 130, for example, would indicate that households earning the median income would have 30 percent more income than needed to qualify. -more- |

Chase is getting out of the student loan business because Obama is sticking his nose into and the rumors of student loan forgiveness. With Obama's track record of forcing mortgage companies to refinance homes for less than is owed it set a precedent for the government to step in and force businesses to take a loss. Factor in all the FSA complaining about their $90,000 student loan debt for an art history degree and not able to find a job and it is easy to see how the same scenario would play out.

Does this mean Uncle Sugar will pay my loan for me and I can spend my monthly payment on whatever I want? Oh wait, I forgot, having a full time job that pays many many times minimum wage makes me an evil 1%er. Not only will I have to pay off my loan, I have to pay off the loans of those fucking dead beats who can't a get a fucking job ANYWHERE because their major was art history and they dropped out of college a few semesters before finishing. .    . I personally know people like this too!.  |

With the high availability of information in our modern technological age the default definition of "higher education" needs to change.
A college degree no longer guarantees an individual is competent in their field of study and/or the chosen field of study is relevant to the current market. An individual working on and achieving a degree in a field with zero relevance to the current demands of the job market lacks serious foresight and at least to me not a good candidate for any meaningful position other than basic entry level work with minimal responsibility. |

Good. Not everyone needs to go to college. Agreed. Way too many of kids going to school with little thought on the degree earned being able to pay for itself in due time. I guess we could just reinstitute the draft and send them off to Syria though. 
Trade schools would be a nice place for lots of young men and women. i don't blame the banks one bit to get out of a line that's not profitable. I still think they should burn for selling shitty bundled stocks based on shitty irresponsible home loans. One way to pass on the crap that Congress stuck in their lap though. |

You would think that the student loan amounts would be based on the marketable skills one can learn in the clases taken. No different than getting a business loan IMHO. Risk taken for future profit. If your business model sucks then no loan for you. The same logic should apply for student loans. If you want a degree in music then you are on your own hook. Speaking for myself I'd be more inclined to loan $$$ to someone going after the degrees you and your wife went after than someone going after a liberal arts degree. I'd only loan one year at a time too and would need to see the student's grades before extending them another loan. Silly me, that would be responsible lending.

However, people/student know up front what a particular school is going to charge. Nobody is forcing them to enroll and incur debt. They could take fewer hours per semester, work a little more, and have no debt. It may take a little longer, but they'll have no debt. It will also make them think a little before they get that $200,000 women's studies degree that won't pay the bills when they graduate unless they get a job teaching that very subject at the college level. |

I've looked at some exams from someone who got a masters in a field I'm quite familiar with, and I knew every answer. If given the tests right now, I could likely ace them all. Every semesters' exams. It's all stuff I know. But I'd have to pay quite a bit of money to sit through what I know and take those tests over several years to get that piece of paper. I'd be perfectly happy if universities would offer a far less expensive, far less time consuming accreditation degree program. Prove you can pass all the tests and know everything required, do the thesis and show you know your field, you get the degree. They wouldn't have much infrastructure cost to deal with, either. |

As soon as the Government got involved a long time ago it caused the system to generate a flawed model.
As with all loans the risk is to the lender. For example if you wanted to loan a friend money and he paid you back with interest you got a return on your loan. You did risk your money to receive that interest. You risked your friend not paying you back. As it should be. For without risk there is no downside to loaning money. If the government guaranteed every loan you made then what do you care about only loaning your money out to those that can or will pay it back. It set up the "Anti-Capitalist" student loan system. The government removed that risk by making these loans guaranteed. So the lenders had no desire to worry about risk. If a student doesn't pay then Uncle Sam will......The fix was put in and now we are in a the viscous cycle created by our wonderful overseers.... If your mad at Student Loans it is because it isn't a system that should have ever been used in our capitalist society. These socialists should have been run out of this country long ago..... because they were not we are seeing the decline of our nation.... this is just a small symptom of that over all decline.... |

There is so much dead weight in most universities, tenured profs that have a TA teach their classes and just navel-gaze in a paper-piled office all day. They bring NO income to the campus by their actions, and have no performance requirements. Which is why they write drivel disconnected from the real world that becomes public policy. |

They are getting out of the student loan business because the goverment has taken it over.
Interesting trend to note. The population of high schoolers graduating is on a steady decline and colleges are soon going to start having to compete for students and tuition prices will have to start falling. Or some schools are going to keep the "list price" but will negotiate with you. |
