Students are consistently told that earning a Bachelor's degree is the path to successful adulthood. But, according to a 2018 survey, about 30% of all US adults have student debt. In this episode, hosts Rosie and BJ dive into the student loan crisis and offer solutions for how future students can avoid paying too much for college.

They believe college corporatization is behind much of the student debt bubble. Because student loans cannot be discharged to bankruptcy, graduates must struggle underneath all the debt until it's paid off — or until they die.
