it'd be entirely reasonable if student loan debt were dischargeable in bankruptcy, but absent that it looks kinda bad

student loan debt should have terms set by underwriting that takes into account the earning potential of the degree being pursued and also be discharageable in bankruptcy thank you for attending my ted talk
