I agree so much with you! I had lost many friends to the debt gods. If you look at jobs with a different glass, would you say they are a form of debt as well?
I mean you sign a contract about giving up your own free time, yeah you get compensated but you kind of agree to the hourly payment they are giving you.
What would be a fair value for a person's free time? Considering the fact the we are all dying slowly? And on top of that some individuals decide to carry debt on their shoulders?
I mean it's brave but really not necessary.
Anyway thanks for the effort you put into it!! Very well written post.
