Quoted from NPO:

Asking me to have you pay them? There was such an option??? Man, wish I had known!
J/K - in all seriousness though, what do you mean by this? To me, paying them was the only option and certainly more honorable as this was MY responsibility to take care of.
Is there some situation where students are requesting others to pay their debts off for them? If so, man, that kinda sucks. No sense of accomplishment having someone else do it...!

Yes, he is making a reference to those millienals that want the government to simply forgive their student loans (meaning have everyone else satisfy them with their tax dollars). Not starting a political discussion, just pointing out his reference so you don't think it was targeted in some way.

Quoted from NPO:

Ahhhhh! I'm tracking, now. I can't imagine doing that. No way. This was my responsibility. I'll be damned if someone is giving me a handout. I was born in 81, so I feel in that awkward "am I or am I not a millenial?" quandary. If so, I'll gladly go against that stereotype.

You are Generation X, the child of baby boomers. You are not a millennial.

One of the big travesties with college is people going to school and into debt and getting a degree that really is not worth much.

Look at, for example, history or English majors. How many jobs are there for those degrees per state compared to how many people are getting those degrees? People who get one of those degrees must keep going beyond college to get a marketable skill.

*Disclaimer, I have a history and English degree, neither would have landed me gameful employment.*

Quoted from Eric_S:

*gainful employment
where did you get that degree in English?

Speed typing on a cell phone wasn't a course offered back in my day.
