I never had student loans but I hate em with every fiber of my being because of the brainwashing me and my peers went through telling us it was the absolute only way to not end up destitute

If you have conservative baby boomers in your life, it is ever more frustrating to try and explain this to them. I do not recommend it.

By the time I got to high school, most kids I knew were obsessed with college. I asked my mom "if everyone gets a degree their can't be that many jobs right?" and she just reminded me to keep up the good work so I could to college lmfao

It’s wild how you can see like 90s media building up the myth of college as the endgame so desperately, too. Why else was Felicity’s dorm room so fucking big but to also trick us into taking out student loans?!

As a brainwashed PEER with 200k in debt thank you
