This story has me really mad. Especially the comments. I can't believe people are so appalled this dude decided to just bail on his debts. I guess he's just supposed to rot in Pennsylvania and deliver pizzas until he pays the debt off? The really angry boomers and the boot-lickers demand he pick up a second, or even a third job to pay back what he owes for the worthless education he invested time and money in. The guy even claimed to have worked while he went to school. What more can he do? Maybe he had a terrible GPA? I guess that would explain it.
I mostly agree he should pay the debt off because it is doable, and letting debt grow is stupid. He's digging himself a bigger and bigger hole. However, I am totally sickened by the comments that claim he's an idiot for getting a "worthless" degree and that his passport should be revoked and that too many people are getting worthless degrees.
On the job training used to be a thing. I read the obituary section. A lot of people got degrees in things like political science, or history, or English and got trained to code, do technical documentation, and so on.
Boomers got these kind of degrees and did OK. Lot's of women get these kind of degrees and do OK.
3 out of 17 employees are male. They probably pay above minimum wage. I worked with a woman that now works at this place. I have B.A. in political science. I could work at a place like this. I could do whatever work is being done at this place. I'll never get a chance though because I'm a fucking white man. I had a better GPA and went to a better school than this woman, but I didn't even get an interview, while she got a job there. Honestly, I wouldn't even want to work at that particular company, but you get the idea.
>> isnt happy in America >> starts teaching in China >> randomly moves to Ukraine and starts sales job
Huh? Hes not a victim hes a shiftless unstable loser
John Lopez
funny how both parties agreed that permanent school debt is freedom, or acceptable. And the cost has only gone up. It's just a money drain and way to control society.
Jordan Carter
>$30,000 he owed in student loans That ain't shit, what the fuck?
Juan Cooper
Well trybstarting by realizing that college is worthless and you dont have to go
Xavier Lee
>paying kikes $30k vs living in China This is a dumb fuck, not a victim.
Xavier Wood
Does a lazy person move to the other side of the planet to teach English, and then move to a country experiencing civil war to to sell stuff ? Seems like a lot of effort to me. Seems like maybe he just wants to see the world while he's young.
It's a lot of money if you're making minimum wage ($7.25/hour) in Pennsylvania. I don't know about yo,u but I've only made like 10-20k a year the last three years.
Mason Rivera
Historically, this current debt crisis is about the same as the roaring 20s. Along with that debt is a modern form of Prohibition manifested by the education system. You can study until the cows come home. Getting paid is about what you negotiate. If you and your wife are fighting over who gets the check, you'll both be livestock for the man.
So kids..... never mind the vast percentage of you who thought you were square by getting a two year degree in web programming or writing games. Who is selling off their credibility like they would sell of body organs and is only asked to commit crimes and take the fall when caught?
.....Yeah. Too smart for the unions!
Camden Price
I have no problem with joining a union that actually represents me, or presents a vision for the country I can agree with, but I don't agree with flooding the country with immigrants.
He's fucking over the boomers, and they can't afford another case of Monster from Social Security because of it. So they'll import some niggers to replace him.
Michael Foster
It’s been downhill since women got the right to vote

Caleb Thompson
Renegading on your word and obligations is nigger-tier. That's why this triggers boomers so much.
Julian Torres
Labor unions are useless for labor but effective tools of the democratic party now thanks to labor busting capitalists bringing niggers and other shitskins into the workforce to save a dollar. Then they will tell you it's the fault of a democrat mayor or something.
Matthew Walker
True but with the current system there is absolutely no incentive to do things honorably. Work so a nigger can stay home. Work so an illegal alien can stay home. Work so a paki or korean motherfucker can run a business tax free. This isn't a white man's society. White men are cattle to be consumed.
Kayden Robinson
You could say the same thing about Boomers pushing education so much.
>JUST GET A DEGREE, THEN YOU CAN GET A JOB! >YOU HAVE A DEGREE? UH, SORRY, NOT ENOUGH EXPERIENCE!
Cooper Brooks
Totally agree. The debt should be dischargeable. Just like any other sort of debt. That would actually allow market forces to act more effectively. The loans wouldn't be handed out like candy like they are now.
Christopher Thompson
Usury is against the Bible. We are under no obligation to "honor" usurious loans that go to fund shitlib universities.
Jeremiah Morales
>Chad Albright name-check >30.000 $ debt burden to this clown world economy -check > flew away to china yellow fever - check This guy is pure meme, also one of us mfw
Then don't take the loan if you're so opposed to usury. You can't just borrow money from someone on certain terms and then back out from those terms, though. At least not without consequences.
According to the article, he's living in Ukraine now and doing some kind of sales work.
Carson White
>Then don't take the loan if you're so opposed to usury.
Don't care. You're stuck thinking in individual terms about a systemic problem. The student debt system has gotten to the point where the whole thing needs to be brought down. That's the operative "morality" at work here.

You forgot
>trades
Maybe I've just talked to the wrong people (probably have), but most of the old guys I've talked to that are in trades say they'd do something else if they got to do it over again or they say the field is going to shit (more than one mechanic has said this to me) and don't go into it.
Connor Barnes
You're a fucking brainwashed moron if you think you need a college degree to do anything more than the most base immigrant level work, or the UK is more retarded and fucked than I imagined.
You people are pathetic. You are so dumb you think a piece of paper is what defines your success?? Are you kidding me? How many losers have college degrees now? Millions? I guess that higher education isn't really educating you very well. No wonder they can get you to sign up for tens of thousands of dollars in useless debt.
Jordan Jenkins
My sister's husband makes over 100k a year with no college degree, my friend also makes very good money and has no college whatsoever. Don't buy the lies. A mechanic is stuck in an ever increasing world of proprietary software and computerization, it doesn't represent the entire non-college working world.
Nathan Brooks
What do these people do and where did they get started?
I know in more than a few trades the answer is "go to the union hall and fill out an application." Lol. You know how that's gonna work out if you don't know the right person.

he's saying that he looks like a potato so he's even more like one of us. that being said, ugly people are ugly and I don't like them
Grayson Jones
So i was looking at some stats at UK, apparently like 85% of 20-35 year olds live at home because the price of tenting even a single apartment is just to high. Is this true? and how is it fixed ?
Jackson Jones
So it's the idiotic theory of whomever made that meme their was no federal deficit in the 50's and 60's? No cost at all for WWII, Korea, and Vietnam? Do you have to worry about being yanked out of your life, sent to Basic and AIT, forced to jump out of planes against your will? You know the economy is SCREAMING like it hasn't since back in the late 60's, so if you can't earn a dollar it amight be because you are an ignorant fucking whiner, instead of a results oriented self starter.
Joshua Cox
Yes.
Noah Bailey
>he's just supposed to rot in Pennsylvania and deliver pizzas until he pays the debt off? You know, college degrees should come with a money back guarantee. if it DOESN'T get you the kind of job your media, advisors, teachers, and professors promised, money back. Lemon law should apply. It's literally false advertising, and they predate on 17-18 year old kids.
fucking boomershits can get a bailout for buying a mcmansion at 35, but those 17 year old kids who DARED to...listen to their parents and do what their parents told them...to get an education and better themselves to attempt to become a contributing member of society, well they can rot in hell apparently.
all boomers get the rope.
personally i haven't bee paying the loans. my mommy cosigned and her credit was tanking, so she gave up on me after 3 years and will simply pay off the half she signed for. she's the one who forced me to go to college. i wanted to be a bartender and she had a conniption about it. entire family involved, an entire shitfit that I NEEDED to go to college. So I went, and bartending unironically pays more than what i make at my kikeslave job.
Jackson Smith
You can go to any state university in NY for free.
What now?

Kayden Mitchell
I know how to survive off that employment grid I have a skill, not a job.
Noah Mitchell
My entire family are bluecollar. Every last one has gotten a crippling injury before age 40. It's literal backbreaking slavework.
You’re pretty much the last western country where kids can get trade apprenticeships. That will be lost very soon. The more spics you take in, the quicker that happens
Maybe daddy trump will stop letting them in soon ;)
Do what I did: freelance for a couple of years. If you do enough small recurring gigs for enough businesses, one or more of them will offer you a job. Then you lie about how much you're making freelancing (I was making 48Kish after two years of building a customer base, which isn't terrible but isn't enough to survive in New York) so they pay you more than that fake number since you no longer have "the freedom to work when and where you want." I told my current employer I needed 65K or it just wasn't worth it to stop freelancing, so he offered me 70. Got bumped to 82K over the past two years. It's a pretty excellent arrangement, and my job isn't even that hard for me. I just have to write a bunch of bullshit per week. Seriously, learn to write. Everyone thinks it takes fucking forever to write a 500 word blog post, for example, because it would take THEM forever. It takes me somewhere around a half hour, even less. So I write one per day, and spend the rest of my time in the office fucking around on the internet and "running a few projects" (which basically involve me poking my head into the engineers' rooms and asking them, "How long until this is done? Okay. Do this next.") Everyone thinks I'm like a wizard. It's pretty awesome. So yeah, faggots. Freelance. It's the easiest way into a company. It's the new paid internship.
Hudson Jones
One of my dad's cousins gave him shit the other day because I don't have to pay rent to live at home, and she acted like it was the most appalling thing she ever heard.
Bitch I work in a fucking skyscraper. Yeah, god forbid I save money to buy my own property in a few years instead of renting in a shitty apartment until I'm 40 with a boomer cuck landlord.
God that pisses me off. It's like mind your own business.
Leo Walker
Practical advice for the modern times
Christian Martinez
I'm already a writefag. Where do you find gigs? All the "content creation" shit I looked at needs 2 years experience in [subject], so they want someone who does that job to write it, not some random writefag. And non-specialised stuff is flooded by laid off journowhores. I'm better than them, but I don't have the connections and resume they have so no one wants me.
Jose Cook
She goes, "He's not learning any lessons that way"
It's like, really? So people who spend their whole paycheck on rent have some kind of special knowledge that I don't? Eat shit.

Justin White
It's like, here's a lesson for you bitch. *shows bank balance*
Tyler Rogers
Honestly dude, fake your qualifications. According to people who hired me for gigs, I had "Ten years of experience," since I had been writing my friends' papers for them in high school for like twenty bucks. That counts! That's only for one-off gigs, though, and it assumes you can do the job quickly. And "content creation for X_SUBJECT" is bullshit. Nobody actually expects you to have had two years of experience writing about shipping lanes, that's ridiculous. They just want someone who can sound like they know what they're talking about. Honestly, I got a lot of shit from Craigslist and Elance (but I think Elance was bought by UpWork, which I do not like as a platform). I spent about two hours per day trawling through Craigslist's postings. I'd go city by city, keeping a tab open for the things that looked like they'd be worth the time. Scribendi helped fill in some gaps, too. There's probably more money in editing and proofing than in writing. Again, this assumes you can do it quickly.
David Baker
not everyone lives in a large city. small towns rarely offer more than this unless you can get a job with the local monopolies
Ian Martinez
Thanks bro. Well, shit. I wrote essays for side money in college. Guess I have 4 years experience. I writefag my own /lit/ so make that 6 years. I'll check it out.
Alexander Jackson
>this assumes you can do it quickly. Do what quickly? Write a 500 word.
I can probably write like 10 pages of well researched and footnoted shit a day and not loathe my life. Anymore than that, and I just can't concentrate anymore.
