Question and why?

I saw this an ad on facebook this morning for this

Its a show and one that is suppose to be making fun at Sallie Mae and student loan debt.

I was looking at this and wonder?? If we all are suppose to go back to school and get an education and get a worthy job and have a good life. Why is it that so many of us is in this situation?? Is the American population of students, middle aged people and others so stupid that we all missed something about what we did?? I mean why are so many people in this debt to begin with. At what point of our second education did we not notice the huge amount of debt building up?? Or did all of us not notice there was no jobs at the end of that education journey??? How did some of us not know and there is a lot of us here. How did we not know that there is a odd limit on how much we can borrow?? I know odd we should of known  this at some point when we decided to go back to school. How did we not know this?? I know I"m not alone in that I did well in school but ran out of money and did not graduate!  They say read all the material. Well once you read it once I know many did what I did. Glance over the material the remaining years. Did we miss a little sentence somewhere along the way that was hidden in the documents. And I wonder after all this time. Did I sign off on all those loans?? Really I"m going to look back because I truly do not remember.

I read, research and find that there are millions of students, young and old that are in this same situation. We all started on this journey to better ourselves, to get educated so that we can be worthy of a better paying job so we can pay our bills and have a little bit of a better life. Why is it that instead we are finding ourselves in a worst situation than what we started out in???

Where do we go from here?? I"m not sure.

I do feel like I was scam out of 4 years of my life. Being suckered into believing that I was going for an education, only to have the school and government take advantage of this and use that so called money for their own evil agenda. After all the payments I'll be paying go mostly for interest. And if I just pay the monthly balance these loans will never get paid off. Where does all that money in interest go??

I think we all fell down the rabbit hole of Sallie Mae and the likes of her. We are all swimming in the Wonderland of student debt hoping to wake up one day and find it was all a bad weird dream.
