I am from Brazil, and was victim of the same thing. Worse, I could if I had spent a year studying or so, join a free university, but even that was unnaceptable, the "right thing" to do was take a loan and dive in a expensive course. I finished college in 2009, I still don't got my first legal job, and I still have debts, I am struggling to buy medicine I need. Meanwhile everyone I know that ignored the "adults" and did whatever they wanted, managed to actually start a life, and now have house, vehicle, sometimes kids... meanwhile I just have a stupid piece of paper that is not good even to wipe my ass with (the university diploma they gave me is just a normal A4 paper printed in a normal inkjet).
