Higher education is meant to get you ahead of the competition. But if you study in the US and have to pay tens of thousands of dollars for it, in a way, the diploma also sets you back. While America remains the world’s most popular destination for international students, it’s also among the highest priced choices. Even the locals have a hard time paying for it too.
A few days ago, American Twitter user Wee-Yum shared the numbers of their student debt: $82,649.35. “This is my student loan amount,” they wrote. “I don’t stress because it ain’t ever getting paid off.”
Since this has been a longtime hot topic, it didn’t take long before the post went viral. Generating over 93.4K likes, it has received a lot of replies with shocking dollar amounts. Sadly, you can see some students who shared them are simply hopeless about it.
