And this is loan is made contingent on the promise that graduating from university will grant you a middle-class job, which in the case of being underwater in student loan debt, means they failed to provide. People wouldn't take these loans if they didn't think college was supposed to pay them back. That's the only reason 99% of the population would go into debt attending college. And that's the lie we've hammered into kids since they were in first grade like a cult.

Now I don't think he should have been forced to work as a lawyer, but let's not claim that all instances of being underwater are because the university didn't keep the promise of getting you a good job.
