Can someone explain to me as a non American, what is the student loan? Is it college fee? In my country it's only costed 300-1500$ a year unless you take extra classes then it'll cost a bit more, you can also get groceries from the local market for months worth of food for really cheap and room for rent is 150$-300$ a month or you can live in pagoda for free

It's a way to force an 18 year old into a life of indentured servitude under the guise of "financial assistance" by simply clicking accept on a couple online forms, only for 40% of them to end up working jobs that don't require a college degree in the first place.

The job postings require a degree, yet a monkey could do it.
