Student Loans Sure Seem Like A Scam And We’ve Got The Screenshots To Prove It (16 Pics)

If you graduated from college, you’re probably excruciatingly aware of how frustrating the whole student loan system is. A college diploma is practically mandatory, tuition costs have skyrocketed, and wages are… not great. It’s easy to rack up tens of thousands of dollars in debt that will stay with you for decades to come.

With interest, many people wind up paying tens of thousands of dollars more than the cost of the principal loan. Add to that inscrutable credit scores, stalkerish collectors, and sleazy or unresponsive middlemen and you can understand how the whole thing starts to feel like a racket.
