Top Stories for November 29th Publish Date: November 29th PRE-ROLL: SUGAR HILL ICE SKATING From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Saturday, November 29th and Happy Birthday to Vin Scully I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by Gwinnett KIA Mall of Georgia. Piedmont Oncology Opens Early Detection Pancreatic Cancer Clinic, First of Its Kind in Georgia You can now use a digital driver’s license to buy beer, cigarettes in Georgia Musical events, attractions to get into the magical spirit of the holiday season All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: Kia Mall of Georgia STORY 1: Piedmont Oncology Opens Early Detection Pancreatic Cancer Clinic, First of Its Kind in Georgia Piedmont Oncology just opened Georgia’s first Early Detection Pancreatic Cancer Clinic, and honestly, it’s a big deal. Pancreatic cancer is brutal—13% five-year survival rate, no screening test, vague symptoms that sneak up on you. But this clinic? It’s here to change that. Dr. Andrew Page, the clinic’s medical director, says early detection is everything. “Education about risk factors is critical,” he explained. The clinic will focus on genetic counseling, research collaborations with NIH and Mayo Clinic, and, hopefully, developing a much-needed screening test. None of this would’ve happened without donors like Purple Pansies. Their support is saving lives. STORY 2: You can now use a digital driver’s license to buy beer, cigarettes in Georgia Big news for Georgians: you can now use a digital driver’s license to buy alcohol, tobacco, and other age-restricted items. Yep, your phone just got even more useful. The Georgia Department of Driver Services (DDS) announced the update Monday, calling it a “major step forward” in modernizing IDs. But here’s the catch: it’s up to individual businesses to accept them. No guarantees. Oh, and don’t try using a screenshot—doesn’t count. Retailers need a special mDL reader to scan the license, and staff still have to verify your age. Progress? Sure. Perfect? Not quite yet. STORY 3: Musical events, attractions to get into the magical spirit of the holiday season It’s that time again—holiday magic is everywhere, and Atlanta’s got no shortage of ways to celebrate. From concerts to tree lightings, here’s what’s happening: Holiday Shows at the FOX Theatre: Lauren Daigle’s Behold Christmas Tour (Dec. 4): Grammy-winning magic. Christmas Together (Dec. 6): Amy Grant, Cece Winans, and Michael W. Smith. A Drummer Boy Christmas (Dec. 8): for King + Country’s festive storytelling. Elf the Musical (Dec. 16–20): Buddy’s heartwarming journey. Nutcracker! Magical Christmas Ballet (Dec. 23–24): Ballet meets acrobatics. Festive Attractions: Stone Mountain’s Flight to the North Pole (Nov. 8–Jan. 4): Help Santa save Christmas. Garden of Lights (Nov. 15–Jan. 11): Stroll through dazzling displays. Georgia Aquarium Holidays (Nov. 14–Jan. 2): Twinkling lights, Santa, and sea life. Don’t miss these great events! We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: Ingles Markets - DTL HOLIDAY STORY 4: Student loan change could drain nurse pipeline, Ga. dean warns Nursing is no longer considered a “professional degree” by the U.S. Department of Education, and nurses are, understandably, furious. The change, tied to the “One Big Beautiful Bill”, means nursing students can’t access the $200,000 loan cap reserved for professional programs. Instead, they’re stuck with a $100,000 limit—less than what many need to cover tuition. Linda McCauley, dean of Emory’s Nursing School, didn’t hold back: “In a time when we desperately need more nurses, why make it harder? It feels like they didn’t think this through.” The fallout? Fewer nurses, more debt, and a lot of frustration. STORY 5: Flight delays: Here are your rights when flying over the holidays in 2025 Stuck at the airport? Here’s a tip: if your flight’s delayed more than three hours (domestic) or six hours (international), you’ve got rights. Travel expert Katy Nastro says airlines must offer a refund or rebook you—your choice. But here’s the catch: no double-dipping. You can’t get both. And meal vouchers? Only if the delay’s the airline’s fault, like staffing or mechanical issues. Hotels? Depends on the airline. The Department of Transportation even published a guide for what airlines owe you. Pro tip: screenshots of your license don’t count for ID. Break 3: BUFORD HOLIDAY FESTIVAL STORY 6: Forsyth school board approves use of same alarm system in place at Apalachee High School Forsyth County schools are stepping up safety with a $2.4 million Centegix alarm system, approved by the Board of Education this week. You’ve probably heard of these “panic alarms”—they’re the same system credited with the quick response during the tragic Apalachee High School shooting last year. Teachers and staff wear a button they can press in emergencies, instantly alerting law enforcement without fumbling for a phone. The system also includes color-coded strobe lights for visual alerts, ensuring ADA compliance. The first year’s cost? $420,000, with the rest spread over five years. Safety, it seems, is getting an upgrade. STORY 7: Recall alert: Honda recalls 256K vehicles for loss of power software error Honda’s recalling over 256,000 vehicles—specifically 2023–2025 Accord Hybrids—because of a software glitch that could cause the car to lose power mid-drive. Not ideal, right? The issue? The integrated control module’s CPU might reset itself while you’re cruising along. Dealers will fix it for free, though, so there’s that. Honda says owners will get a heads-up by mail starting Jan. 5, but if you’re the impatient type (or just worried), you can call them at 888-234-2138. Oh, and if you’re curious, the recall number is TN2. Stay safe out there!

It's a given for many college students that they'll begin their adult lives with student loan debt. For the author of a new memoir, the experience was extreme. At 22 years old, Kristin Collier walked into a bank to apply for a credit card. She walked out with the knowledge that somehow, she already owed more than $200,000. Her mother had taken out the loans in her name, without her consent. Collier confronts that debt — and the way debt shapes life in the United States — in the book, “What Debt Demands: Family, Betrayal and Precarity in a Broken System.” She lives in Minneapolis and joined Minnesota Now guest host Chris Farrell to talk about the book.

Jocelyn Pearson. Purpose of the Interview The interview on Money Making Conversations Masterclass with Rushion McDonald and Jocelyn Pearson aimed to: Share Jocelyn’s journey of graduating debt-free by securing $126,350 in scholarships. Educate families on how to avoid student loan debt through her proven system, The Scholarship System. Dispel myths about scholarships and provide actionable steps for parents and students. Key Takeaways Scholarship System Approach Jocelyn developed a six-step process to simplify scholarship applications and avoid overwhelm. Focus on breaking the process into small, manageable steps rather than a vague “go get money” directive. Common Myths Debunked Too early or too late to apply: Start by junior year; it’s never too late—even college seniors can apply. Only perfect students or low-income families qualify: Many scholarships don’t require high GPA or athletic ability. All good scholarships are gone: Smaller, local scholarships ($500–$5,000) add up over time. It takes too much time: With a system and reusable materials, effort decreases each year. Avoiding Scholarship Scams Beware of “easy,” “enter to win,” or sweepstakes-style scholarships—they often sell personal data. Real scholarships require effort and personalization. Role of Parents Parents should help with planning and identifying legitimate scholarships but not complete applications for students. Committees can detect when parents write essays. AI in Scholarship Applications Jocelyn warns against copy-pasting AI-generated essays. Her platform introduced TESS, an AI assistant for ethical guidance and support. Financial Aid Basics Submit FAFSA even if you think you won’t qualify; some colleges and states require it. Combine all sources—government aid, institutional aid, and private scholarships. For Current College Students Check with financial aid offices, academic departments, and organizations for scholarships available after freshman year. Entrepreneurial Journey Jocelyn turned her passion into a business by starting with a book, building an email list, and launching webinars. She emphasizes persistence and ignoring naysayers. Notable Quotes “I had to accumulate my way to getting college paid for—the mere mortals’ way to going to college without tons of debt.” “Most families want scholarships, but they get stuck in the overwhelm.” “There’s no big red easy button—but with clear steps, it feels less daunting.” “We’re saying no to the broken system… It takes, on average, 21 years to pay off student loans.” “With great power comes great responsibility—AI can help, but only if used ethically.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Today's Headlines: President Trump finally announced that he signed the Epstein Files Transparency Act — though we still haven't actually seen the signature. AG Pam Bondi now has 30 days to release the files. Then, in true Trump escalation fashion, he hopped back online to call for the arrest and death penalty for several Democratic lawmakers — all military or intel veterans — after they released a video reminding service members not to follow illegal orders. Trump labeled it “seditious behavior, punishable by death!” The White House later tried to clean it up, insisting Trump does not want to execute Democrats. Meanwhile, the U.S. Coast Guard quietly rewrote its policies so that swastikas, nooses, and Confederate flags are no longer “hate symbols” but merely “potentially divisive.” Nothing says troop readiness like officially pretending racism is a quirky personality trait. In New York, Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani is meeting Trump at the White House today — a meeting Mamdani's team requested, even as Trump is withholding $18 billion in federal funding for NYC infrastructure. Immigration crackdowns continue: A federal judge ruled Trump's deployment of National Guard troops to D.C. illegal — though the ruling is paused for 21 days so the administration can appeal. Meanwhile, the immigration sweep in North Carolina wrapped up with over 250 arrests, and the next wave of 250 federal agents is headed for New Orleans. The Department of Education also dropped its new student loan rules, recategorizing a bunch of very real, very necessary professions — nursing, social work, counseling, cybersecurity, engineering, OT, PA, teaching — as not professional degrees. The result, lower lifetime borrowing caps for the people we literally need the most. And lastly, the CDC's vaccine safety page has now been rewritten to align with RFK Jr.'s long-debunked conspiracy theories about vaccines and autism. Science is cancelled, apparently.

Avoiding Scholarship Scams Beware of “easy,” “enter to win,” or sweepstakes-style scholarships—they often sell personal data. Real scholarships require effort and personalization. Role of Parents Parents should help with planning and identifying legitimate scholarships but not complete applications for students. Committees can detect when parents write essays. AI in Scholarship Applications Jocelyn warns against copy-pasting AI-generated essays. Her platform introduced TESS, an AI assistant for ethical guidance and support. Financial Aid Basics Submit FAFSA even if you think you won’t qualify; some colleges and states require it. Combine all sources—government aid, institutional aid, and private scholarships. For Current College Students Check with financial aid offices, academic departments, and organizations for scholarships available after freshman year. Entrepreneurial Journey Jocelyn turned her passion into a business by starting with a book, building an email list, and launching webinars. She emphasizes persistence and ignoring naysayers. Notable Quotes “I had to accumulate my way to getting college paid for—the mere mortals’ way to going to college without tons of debt.” “Most families want scholarships, but they get stuck in the overwhelm.” “There’s no big red easy button—but with clear steps, it feels less daunting.” “We’re saying no to the broken system… It takes, on average, 21 years to pay off student loans.” “With great power comes great responsibility—AI can help, but only if used ethically.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSteve Harvey Morning Show Online: http://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"Dinner or debt"; that's the choice some people receiving the pension say they're forced to make after taking on student loans later in life. One Taupo woman says she's still got a $58,000 student loan, from a business degree two decades ago. Her super's now being docked to pay the debt and she says she's sacrificing the basics just so she can pay for rent and power. It's prompted calls for better guidelines on student loan eligibility and better communication between Inland Revenue and older students. Bella Craig reports.
He paid off $56,696 in student loans in his early 20s — but it didn't happen overnight. In this inspiring part two of Jon Carothers' story, we dive into the faith, mindset, and habits that made it possible.

More than 350,000 Californians are now behind on their student loan payments – the highest delinquency rate for any type of debt in over two decades, according to the California Policy Lab. Experts say the missed payments are a symptom of a financial safety net that was already broken before the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted loan payments and is now further unraveling as borrowers face higher bills, fewer repayment options, inconsistent eligibility for loan forgiveness, and a very confusing system. We talk to a researcher tracking student debt, an advocate fighting on behalf of borrowers in court, and a former government official who has seen the system from the inside.

I personally found my client over $19,800 worth of scholarship opportunities, pertaining to her major, hobbies, age, interests, etc. (Wanna be next!?!?)

In this episode of Status Check with Spivey, Spivey consultant and former admissions dean Nikki Laubenstein discusses the financial aid and student loan considerations that prospective law students should be thinking about post-"Big Beautiful Bill," joined by Sydney Montgomery, who is the Executive Director & Founder of Barrier Breakers, and Kristin Shea, who has led the law school financial aid office at Syracuse University for almost a decade as a part of a 20-year career in legal education.Nikki, Sydney, and Kristen talk about the changes to student loans and student loan caps resulting from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (9:43), the changes to repayment plans (35:58), who those changes apply to (5:21), the differences between undergraduate financial aid/scholarships and law school financial aid/scholarships (20:52), understanding tuition vs. total cost of attendance and how that relates to scholarship reconsideration and student loan caps (24:17), possible ways schools could help fill the gap especially for students targeting public interest jobs (38:21), advice for those planning to work while in law school (41:00), why prospective law students should start thinking about financial aid earlier on in the admissions process than most do (30:47), and more.Barrier Breakers is a nonprofit that has worked with 7,000+ first-generation and other marginalized students on the college and law school application process. Sydney Montgomery, the daughter of a Jamaican immigrant mother and military parents, was the first person from her high school to go to Princeton University and then later Harvard Law School. She has dedicated her life and career to supporting first-generation students and has a particular passion for financial aid. She is a member of the Forbes Nonprofit Council and has been featured in Inc., Forbes, FastCompany, Medium, CNBC, and others. Kristin Shea is a higher education professional with twenty years of experience, including law school enrollment management, recruitment, and financial aid; alumni, donor, and employer relations; and marketing and communications. The last decade of her career has been dedicated to financial aid, and she is passionate about helping law students make smart, thoughtful financial plans for their education. She holds a bachelor's degree in biology and psychology and an MBA from Le Moyne College.We hope to do a follow-up episode in the spring with more information on how law schools are addressing these changes. We also encourage you to reach out to the financial aid offices of schools you're considering once admitted to learn about any programs they may offer and any assistance they can provide. As Kristin says in this episode, "The map may have some alternative directions, but you can still reach your destination, and there are many people who want to help."

Episode 3313: Jen Hayes challenges the common belief that student loans are “good debt,” showing how high interest, limited return on investment, and the inability to discharge loans in bankruptcy can create a lifelong financial burden. She urges students to consider alternatives, such as working and saving before pursuing a degree, and to be strategic about choosing affordable education paths with practical majors. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.jenhayes.me/student-loans-bad-debt/ Quotes to ponder: "Interest on student loans compounds, this means that the interest itself collects interest." "Student loan debt, unlike most other forms of debt, cannot be eliminated during bankruptcy." "Whatever you decide to do, don't believe the lie that student loans are 'good' debt."

Today we are talking with a full time locums doc who has paid off his student loans. He is a child and adolescent psychiatrist and tackled about $400,000 in only 4 years. He refinanced a couple of times and he said it is debatable if that was the right choice, but at the end of the day he just made big payments and poured in everything he could until the loans were done. He said as a locums doc his income is fairly variable so he always has a big chunk of cash available for taxes and expenses and he used that money to wipe out the last of his loans. Despite putting so much towards his loans he has also saved more than half a million dollars and also bought a new car with cash. He also provided a lot of great information about being a locums doc.
