They locked them into those contracts when they were still 17 year old kids. That’s illegal. Except they decided it wasnt. Those kids were told their entire lives that college would open doors to great paying jobs and employers would love to hire college grads over dumb folks with just lousy old high school diplomas. Just sign here kid, and you can get an English degree! Of course, those lenders made sure nobody explained how compounding interest works beforehand. Then they packed all those young people together at the hormonal apex of their sexual torment, with booze and drugs and no supervision, just to see how well they could study Tolstoy. And all it’ll cost them is 150k. But of course there’s the interest to consider.
Why yes, we’re hiring! How does $20 an hour sound? Or perhaps you’d prefer this unpaid internship?
