Most of the major global freighter lines, CMA-CGM, Canada Maritime, and Freighter World Cruise offer any person seeking adventure the chance to come aboard for a fare. As a paying passenger you are accommodated in guest cabins and have access to most areas of the ship.
For the 2011 school year, new Stafford loans came with interest rates of 6.8 percent. This type of loan is the most common type of federal student loan. If your Stafford loan is subsidized rather than unsubsidized, it does not begin accruing interest until after you leave school.
Furthermore, delinquency rates on student loans are currently 10%, which is not significantly different from other forms of consumer debt. And the government supports 95% of student loans, meaning that the private sector is protected from direct economic fallout in a way that was not true in the subprime crisis.
