Graduates have many things working against them after finishing school these
days. But there is one thing that is most devastating-the mix of establishing
an “living income” balanced with the lack of employment, the payment of school
related debts, and the use of receiving unemployment and food stamps!! That is
a mouth full and a field of traps and catch twenty-twos!!
For
example, a graduate has many school related loans to repay and is only able to
find employment that lasts only around six months at a time. Therefore, they
find this employment and upon the job running out they file for unemployment
and food stamps, as they have the legal right to do. It takes about four weeks
to get the unemployment checks and food stamps started. But upon receiving a
check or two, they find another temporary job! They stop the food stamps and
unemployment checks but the process leaves them with a check or so and stamps
too many. The government sends them a bill for the excess and a check is sent
in for payment. In the mean time the student sent a dun/bill labled a “felon”
and is fired from his job. The job will not rehire them without a receipt from
the government showing they the bill is paid. This receipt takes weeks to be
sent and in the mean time the student is with work and cannot look for work
because they are listed as a “felon” with a warrant out for their arrest! Further, these student’s debts have been
sold to “professional debt collectors” for pennies on the dollar and they are
harassing the graduates night and day.
Now
to add insult to injury, the student is labeled a “felon” and has to look for a
job with this on their record! These graduates are literally on the “lamb” so
to speak unable to look for employment or stay at home without being in fear of
bang put in jail.
This
is a true story and is being played out more times than you would think!!!
