Wait a moment...
I've heard a TON of stories, but it's kinda hard to understand, that this is real...
Americans do ACTUALLY take on loans to go to school?
@LukeAlmighty it's one of the greatest & most lucrative forms of usury in the modern age, making (most) youth debt slaves to the system until the end of their lives. Just American things...

I do get some good old usery, but this scheme is so crazy, it's truly hart to immagine a situation, where a person would take such a loan.
@LukeAlmighty @RehnSturm256 You can't pay for college otherwise.
@Eris @LukeAlmighty @RehnSturm256 and people wonder why I push trade school and apprenticeships, or if you're going for tech stuff just getting certificates on your own. I know people who work for Google and Microsoft who don't have more than a high school diploma but they did their homework and got their certifications. They also have a good GitHub portfolio.
@LukeAlmighty they get you when you're most vulnerable: when you're young, and design a system where you "need" the degree for even many basic jobs. Barely 17/18 yo and bright eyed youth without any direction in the world are enslaved to thousands in debt. You don't even want to dig into this lore. It gets worse the more you realize. Like, how people are becoming such slaves for life with tangibly useless degree studies, but the paper they get from graduating is all that matters in getting a desk jockey job or teaching job which continues the cycle.
What? You thought America being an empire of the anti-christ was a meme?

@RehnSturm256 @LukeAlmighty or they get forced into jobs that crush their soul and spirit because they gotta pay the bills. Why I ended up in retail hell

No, but this might be my first unironic use of "Let's just kill the jews already"
