Calling an outsider looking in, a “boomer,” doesn’t help the situation. My 25-30s were spent just-fucking-escaping that cesspool. Again, if you owe more than say… 10k, it makes more sense to take your diploma to another country.
10k is way more money than it takes to get to Canada, Germany, France, Spain, Australia, anywhere really. Every single other “industrialized” nation pays for their citizens healthcare because it’s cheaper in the long run.
If you can find a SEA country that will take you? Even more power to you.
Don’t see the world from your own lemmy.world myopic-viewpoint. Big, big banks’ collateral will be fucked when these types of loans all collapse and get downgraded by fitch(/etc). Not paying will just shorten the fuse for these trillion $ orgs.
