Today, outraged students are marching to teach us all a lesson: That their education should be priceless. Literally. As in, they don’t want to pay for their education.
And for those of you coldhearted, soulless people out there, maybe these sad tales of woe will help melt the ice water in your veins:
"I'm chained to something for the rest of my life."

Don’t you feel just awful for them? It’s not their fault they owe money! They didn’t know what they were getting into! Nobody told them that when you take out a ginormous loan, you’re expected to pay it back! Or that you might want to think carefully about the major you choose.

#MillionStudentMarch to be fair, nobody told her she'd have to work to pay back the money she borrowed. pic.twitter.com/Kky0S9mUQq

We especially liked this woman, who so perfectly embodies what the #MillionStudentMarch is all about:

We didn’t even know it was possible to spend $280,000 on a Chinese medicine degree, let alone think it’d be a good idea.
And yet, here we are.

@Chris_Naff I'll take "useless majors" for $2,000, Alex!

@Matthops82 @DraftRyan2016 Who knew there was that much to learn about Chinese medicine?

@Matthops82 @DLoesch @DraftRyan2016 It would have been less expensive to study that in China.

@Matthops82 @DLoesch @DraftRyan2016 for that kind of scratch, she could have gone to non-Chinese medical school

@Matthops82 @DraftRyan2016 the dumbfounded look on her face explains everything! #MillionStudentMarch

Hey, I'm more understanding than most people, but if you took out $300k for a degree in Chinese medicine, you're on your own.
