"Slavery" is when you choose a path that requires you to undertake substantial debt, sign a contract clearly stating all terms of that obligation, and then get mad about what you've done to yourself.
Student loans are slavery.
I have a friend who has a masters in business and her student loans are currently at $164,000.
The HR job she was at paid a measly $15/hr!
She only pays $100/month on the loan and with 8% interest, the debt increases by $800 per month!
At the rate sheโs going, in 30 years sheโll be 68 and the debt will be $1.447 million.
