Because everyone was fucking lied to. From elementary school, our generation was told over and over and over again
>you need a degree to get a good job
>if you don't have a degree you will be poor
>if you're poor your life will suck
>if you have a degree paying off your loans will be easy
>if you don't have a degree you're going to be slaving away at some dead end job until you die
Literally all of elementary and high school are framed in the context of prepping you for post-secondary. Teachers only even criticize you for doing poorly behind the context of you getting into a good school. All of it was just propaganda to turn a huge portion of our generation into debt slaves, all of it. It might be reasonable to expect that an adult doesn't fall for such a trap, but it's totally ridiculous to expect that people who were literally brainwashed for 12 years would somehow see through the trap at a mere 18 years of age (2/3rds of their life that point dedicated entirely to brainwashing).

The dirtiest part about the student loan Jew is that they promise you economic mobility and you get the exact opposite. The whole system is unbelievably criminal.
