A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

That is not correct. Subsidized loans accrue interest, but only starting six months after graduation or when you drop below half-time enrollment.

And the rate is the same for subsidized and unsubsidized, currently 6.53%. https://studentaid.gov/understand-aid/types/loans/interest-rates

My loans were over 20 years old. Things have changed since then.
