Why do people have this mindset? You aren't forced to work for anyone. If you feel that being an employee is slavery, start your own company. At least for now, you still have the freedom to do this in the US. Freedom means you have to take responsibility for your own life. If you rack of $10K in debt and can't pay it back, you will be a slave to it. I learned my lesson with debt years ago and haven't kept a balance on my credit card since. It takes discipline to not live beyond your means and most people just don't have this discipline and it gets them into trouble. This is also why so few people are actually successful at business. They won't stick it out when times get tough and give up when they aren't making a profit right now.
