Thing is those people might not have struggled educationally at all. The ex math teacher i talked about? Made 4.0 in everything. Didnt even owe student loans because they had grants/scholarships. The ex laywers all did just fine educationally. (and their massive debts probably didnt help their credit scores)
Where it gets really messed up is the people who did what they were "supposed to do" and got a STEM degree in Chemistry/Biology/Physics. Only to discover that there is basically no employment for people with just Bachelors degrees in those fields and they would have to go deeper down debt holes just to make ultimately less money than what most coding jobs pay......
Those people do GREAT at coding boot camps and technical training btw.
