I will concede that "I suspect you have lived a very privileged life" was overly focused on you, and should have been something like "Nobody should seriously consider these options unless they are living a very privileged life". Your actual personal history is not relevant my argument at all and I shouldn't have brought it up. I maintain that most employees have basically zero leverage to negotiate their worker-hostile contracts, and that it is not a good idea to saddle yourself with $300k of non-dischargeable student loan debt in order to try to avoid a practice that is pervasive in the U.S.

It's not exactly done in secret. Would you call a feudal serf a conspiracy theorist if he was ranting about how the Dukes and Kings hold all the power? I'm lucky that I have more leverage than an Amazon warehouse employee but it's awfully hard to compare their working conditions to Jeff Bezos's situation and not call him a "corporate overlord".
> Oh, and apparently you really love your job after all despite all the prior ranting about how much you hate your job.
This is just getting boring. Yes, I both love and hate my job. So?
