US-specific, rather than 1st world, is enormous student debt.

So true.

I racked up a grand total of 4k USD (fees) debt.

3k legit expense, 1k me fkin up. Parents covered the 3 clean, 1k parental loan. I enter adult life nearly (1k) debt free with a world competitive degree.

And that's for an education I'll happily stack 1:1 with against other top unis globally.

I look at the US guys with 100k debts and my god...I'm thankful for my roll of life dice...competitive degree with near zero debt must be 0.1%
