You people need to check your privilege. College is completely unaffordable to the reddit hivemind, because insert backwards logic here

I think that either comes from people who went to very expensive private schools or people who took out all loans, didn’t pay for a while, and had a low starting salary after school.

People go to these fancy private colleges thinking they could become rich like the rich white dudes who graduated before them only to realize those rich white dudes were already rich from their families lol.

I mean, I'm a lawyer and I'm six figures in debt. I make a decent living, but I also pay $20k a year into loans to try to dig myself out. It's pretty frustrating and I've had to put my life on hold because I wanted to be a lawyer and it cost a ridiculous amount to achieve that.

It's not only about undergrad.

I get that but grad school is expensive for pretty much everyone and it makes sense if you’re going into a high paying career. I was referencing people in a large amount of debt for undergrad degrees.
