In New Jersey Student Loan Program, Even Death May Not Bring a Reprieve
School is for suckers anymore. Who in their right mind would put themselves through what amounts to institutional training for a life of future labor, middle class if you&#x27;re lucky, working for a corporation as an at-will employee?<p>You&#x27;ve paid thousands and given up four years of your youth, and for what? To go to work (if you&#x27;re lucky for many) for a big corporation making a select few wealthier? Meanwhile your salary is barely enough to make only but marginal dents in the debt you now owe.<p>You struggle to find meaning in your life, as you battle politics, desperately try to stay relevant in an environment of anxiety and fear; your peers are just as worried as you.<p>There needs to be an awakening where we stop telling our kids the &quot;one way&quot; to happiness and the dream is through an expensive undergraduate education. Sure, if you want to go to school to learn something, go...but something tells me, that to the architects of this system, education is the least of the priorities.
