Looking inward at the USA it's very weird and abnormal. If you said you were going to take out a 40000 USD loan in my country and your plan was to figure it out as you go, you'd be looked at as a crazy person.
I am seeing posts all the time on Reddit that make me so confused. Whole communities about people buying essays who clearly don't want to be in college, like /r/Essay_Writing_Service where students try to get through college in the laziest way possible. And then after taking out these loans with no plan and without learning anything, there are posts on places like /r/studentloandefaulters talking about how it's very unfair that they have to pay the debt back.
Why is this type of planless "figure it out later" mindset the norm with US college?
If someone could shed some light on this I would appreciate that. I hope that this post brings no offense to any US students.
