Maybe in a similar boat, like I went to a university and used it to "start a career" and even though I'm making "a living" I still feel like I'm paycheck to paycheck and now these fucking cretins are coming out of the grave to take even more.
It would be great if going to a university and then working for years led to anything like owning my own home or not being like "shit this is bad" when I look at my grocery bill.
edit: nobody, university-educated or otherwise, should be barred from owning their own home, or be stressed out by a grocery bill. My personal path means nil in the calculus of who deserves to be happy and safe. I only say the above in response to the advertisement for the university path which I was constantly subjected to as a child, which was that by going to a university and then getting a job, I would be shielded from the meatgrinder of the supposedly lesser non-university-educated life path. Along with like, my entire family basically threatening to shun me if I did not go, and thus being agents for a loan agency.
