It makes me so angry that we're still talking about student debt like it's some kind of personal choice or investment. It's not. It's a massive financial burden that hangs over us for decades, forcing people to pick careers based on potential earnings just to pay it off, not on what they're passionate about or what society actually needs. I know people who are genuinely putting off starting families or buying homes because of it, and it feels like the government just expects us to be grateful for the privilege of being in crippling debt.
This whole system is just another way to reinforce existing inequalities. If you're from a wealthier background, you might not even need a loan, or your parents can help you out.
