> Let’s be clear, students will NEVER be allowed to default these loans, nor should they. They must either pay it or take their debt to the grave and pass it down to their heirs.

You wanna try that again with a little empathy?

I have no empathy for bad short term thinking.

I could not afford to go to the college I wanted to go to, so I went to a cheaper one I could afford but no one really gives a fuck about. However, it left me with no debt, straight after graduating.

Today, as people struggle to pay off loans for universities they once boasted proudly about, it’s clear I made the right choice.

I did the same thing most of a decade ago. That pathway has unfortunately closed since the cheap college i went to tripled their tuition.
