Only way to solve the student debt, I guess

This is a two-panel reaction meme. The top section has text reading 'High schooler: I'd kill for college tuition' followed by 'US military recruiters:', paired with a zoomed-out shot of Leonardo DiCaprio as Calvin Candie from the film *Django Unchained* standing by a tree, with a radial blur effect to emphasize he has noticed the comment. The bottom panel is a closeup of Candie's face, with text reading 'You will?'. The joke relies on common knowledge that US military recruiters often offer tuition assistance as an enlistment incentive, taking the high schooler's hyperbolic statement about wanting tuition money literally, as military service can require fighting and killing in conflicts.
