OH MY GOD WHY WASN’T THIS MEME AROUND WHEN I WAS IN COLLEGE?
Except maybe the drinking one, EVERY SINGLE ONE of these was me. Not even in an exaggerated way. In a…that should be my picture way.

Education debt restricts the future decisions of college graduates. It rules out any “different metric” and any other idea or ideal of “success.” It rules out any career path that doesn’t promise an income high enough and stable enough to cover the payments on those loans.
If you graduate with $50,000 or $100,000 in debt, you cannot “imaginatively launch new organizations, programs, and initiatives that counter hunger, poverty, disease, and illiteracy.” You cannot be a missionary or an artist or an entrepreneur. It doesn’t matter if that is where your talents lie. It doesn’t matter if that is your calling. You have loan payments to make.
That last sentence can’t be emphasized enough. The rising cost of higher education — and students’ increasing reliance on student loans — means that so many ventures, risks, and projects for my generation must be postponed. Student loans lessen all of us.
Fascinating stuff.
