Well, that depends on who you ask, personally I think it's working out fine. Those who are willing to take responsibility for their debt do so or else their family has done so. I'm a big fan of personal responsibility.

There are other options out there for careers outside of a 4 year degree that are less costly. For some reason as a society we're turning to the thought pattern that everyone is "Owed" the means to pursue their desired path even if they themselves can't personally afford to do so. That's resulted in many going into HUGE debt and defaulting on loans backed by our tax money.....how is THAT working out for us so far?

We're getting to the thought pattern of everyone deserves and "Equal" opportunity, wrong, nothing guarantees that nor does anyone own you or I that, we have the freedom to pursue our path, not for our path to be financed by others.
