Physicians (undergrad + medical school + interest).

Docs, there's no subsidies for post secondary school in USA. A common practice was to claim bankruptcy then start your own practice.

Can’t discharge the student debt with bankruptcy in 🇺🇸.

The best part is that we get to do 3-7 years of post-graduate training, make in the ballpark of minimum wage, and for all those years the interest gets to accrue.

This + taxes keeps the majority of us from rage quitting and jumping off the sinking ship tho.

indentured servitude

Adjacent to that. I always refer to us as serfs while at work.

Does it keep them working in the USA? We have a massive brain drain here once they are learned

How will they every buy a house?

They give you a mortgage, when you already have a student loan? 👀
