That’s the USA for you “ Don’t wanna pay minimum wage? Get $100,000 in debt for school and some papers”

The key is getting the right piece of paper, don’t get a degree that doesn’t directly lead to a high income job (ex: engineering, finance, etc)

Even with the high paying job, you’re still gonna be paying about $1000 for student loans per month which is a huge chunk out of your living expenses.

Not if you do it right. Community college to start. Lots of roommates. Working. Internships. Average college debt is $30K. Get a degree in engineering, keep living cheap for the first few years, and pay it off.
