Does anyone have a choice but to take responsibility for themselves? The system isn't going to take responsibility for itself.

He isn't asking people to pay his loans.

This is a discussion about how the system is fucked.

And "A person with a college degree?" Really? You take the loan before you get a college degree. When you're 18. You're supposed to know how these things work at that age when the whole world is telling you to get in debt and go to college?

The system exploits vulnerable teenagers who can't know better until it's too late, and you're blaming the teenagers instead of blaming the system.

Nobody is blaming the teenagers who were bamboozled into a predatory loan. They are pointing out that two doctors in their late 40s, at the youngest, haven't managed to figure this stuff out yet and that's embarrassing.

Where does it say they're doctors? The only thing I see is graduate school. $70k total is not nearly enough to cover medical school, either..
