Basically, if you got private loans between 2007-2011, with a degree that didn't get you a good job, or a well known school that could hook you up with a good job, you're an idiot.

I am guilty of it too, and it has really affected my mental health, outlook on life, and many other personal issues. I have 4.5 years left on my 108,000 of debt. I'll never go into debt again for the rest of my life because of it, I crave freedom.

I wanted to be a scientist, now I just want to sell ice cream on the beach and stop trying.

I think it sounds fucking awesome. The amount of money I make working my ass off / thinking all day in physics is pathetic. Accountants make more than me and that shit is easy in comparison. Ice cream is easy, everyone is happy, no stress, no math, no problems! Just live a normal life, would be almost no different in terms of quality of life, if I had no college loan bill.

How did you start out? I don't know a single person who graduated college and could just start exploring the world, we are all in a huge amount of crippling debt that doesn't allow for a job that doesnt make atleast $150 every day.

The point is, you're not alone in making this horrible decision. Just sucks to be backstabbed by greedy people.
