    Hot take: how about you pay back the loans you take out? You know, like you agreed to do?

    Edit: lmfao at all the little communists downvoting me for suggesting they actually pay the debts they agreed to take on. “Those are our debts, comrade!” Who would’ve thought that maybe taking out hundreds of thousands of dollars in loans at 17% interest for a gender studies degree was a bad idea? 🤣🤣🤣

      Yeah bro, everyone with student loan debt has a gEnDeR sTuDiEs DeGrEe. What kind of garbage tier comment is this? This isn’t looking for discussion, it’s cosplaying as a Facebook uncle.

        Hahaha, I admit I was trolling a little bit there 😘

        But “pay your fucking bills” is not a controversial statement, and the fact that that was being downvoted is fucking hilariously stupid. Now eat your food, cut your hair, and get a goddamned job!

      This would be a reasonable take if the government hadn’t handed out billions to cronies and private businesses during the same time. But I guess the pandemic only affected private businesses. /s

        if the government hadn’t handed out billions to cronies and private businesses

        Totally separate issue that’s its own pile of bullshit. I think we can both agree that the government is corrupt AF.

      upwards of 90% of everyone who neglected to choose a STEM (Science, Tech, Engineering, Math) degree is unemployable in their chosen field. there just arent that many jobs that actually need a liberal arts, education, marketing, etc degree - you have to basically be the best in a very competitive market.

      yeah, it’s hilarious - they think upvoting/downvoting (or brigading unpopular comments) matters.

        Amen! And that’s always been the case - that’s why the traditional good advice has been that you get a business degree, with a minor in whatever the fuck actually interested you. A business degree is always applicable in every field, and like you said it’s rare that you actually get a career that follows your major. 90% of the time the college degree itself just proved that you could show up on time and follow instructions - but that’s gone out the window too in the past 20 years. Nowadays if you want a worthwhile secondary education trade school is where it’s at - you can’t outsource the trades.

        I’m old enough to remember when “don’t take loans you can’t afford to repay, and pay your fucking bills” was universal common sense and not left vs right - but look at this dumpster fire of triggered communists expecting to be absolved of the consequences of their poor choices by daddy government. Personally, I think they’re just salty that they got lied to again, and everybody who told them this would happen was dismissed / blocked / deplatformed as a being an alt-right nazi bigot. Shucks!
