Last Week Tonight

I worked in the Student Loan Debt Collection Industry for the first part of my career. As a result of all I learned during my time there, I will never allow my children to have student loans.

 

But I was a little disappointed in that report TBH, because they let not-for-profit universities off the hook way too easily. Higher should education should be free, and other nations manage to do so. Ours it not only not free, but saddles people with debt for life. Even if you don't think education could be free for all (spoiler: it totally could) there has to be a middle ground between "free" and "costs as much as a house in some areas, and much more than a house in others."

After I worked in student loan debt collection, I worked in geospatial intel on software that could be used by drones. One time, on a date, a girl asked me if I felt bad working on something that could potentially be used to harm people. I honestly told her, "I felt worse when I worked in student loans."
