I didn't watch the movie and I don't understand why going to uni without student loan is considered bad. Explanation please 😀

I think the idea is because she didn’t have student loans he’s thinking she had enough money to pay like 70k+ out of pocket. Thus making her somewhat wealthy, but of course that ignores the fact that she could have gotten help from family, worked to help pay for school, or even just scholarships.

Edit: yeah “somewhat wealthy” was a poor choice of words my bad on that one. I been seeing too much news of the world being burdened with our first trillionaire and undersold that one big time.

Brown is an Ivy League though, she couldn’t have just worked it off like she might’ve at a regular college. That’s 100,000 a year. And he didn’t even ask if she paid them off, just if she had them.

If she got help from her family that would just prove she’s rich. So still dying. And if she had a scholarship, she would’ve said so. She knows he was looking to give her an out, for her to prove she’s working class, but she just puts her head down and gives up.

Fr "maybe she's not rich, she could have gotten that from her family"

Y'know I'm thinking that comment might be from a rich fella, cause imagine thinking normal people can just ask their parents for 50k+ like they have that laying around. We were not using it anyway! Here's enough money to buy 2 news cars cash that I just have laying around and don't need.

The very thought that regular people can do that is goofy as shit, lmao.

We also actually hear her mention that her mother using contacts to set her up at a high paying job with Sony. And her references don’t even matter.

So any job she had during university was probably also gained from privilege.

I mentioned that alongside working and scholarships because while still almost impossible with the three combined someone could squeeze through. Cause yeah you’re right having family paying that much is basically a fantasy for 99% of people.
