predatory loans.
Hey friend,
When you were growing up, chances are one of the most common questions you were asked was..
“What do you want to be when you grow up?!”
And you were expected to give one of the accepted responses on beat… like policeman, doctor, lawyer, teacher…
Something predictable and useful to the system that the school machine is designed to produce for.
If you weren’t sure, you were pushed towards something and pressed into life altering decisions by people who never did or created anything with their lives.
You’d be forced to choose one of these definitively and encouraged (manipulated) to take on debt (a lot) to be trained in one of these professions. Loans that are unbelievably predatory, but have been normalised by the system.
No lender on earth would give you that amount of money at 18 with zero income.
Surely that has to make you think…
Why is the government backing my university loan?
Maybe they have interest in me going?
And maybe its more about their interest, than mine?
This is just one of the reasons why I’ve spent the last 5 years of my life travelling the world and seeking truth while building online businesses, as my own alternative education.
Talk soon friend.
