While millions of Americans are drowning in student loans – 101 people have the ultimate albatross around their necks; student loan balances exceeding $1 million.

That is the most profound, honest and real statement I have heard in a long time, marblelenecltr. I totally agree with you. You said it so perfectly and suucintly. Go in massive, debt to get degrees for jobs or carrers, that do not exist any more. Then go to debtors prison, which is exactly what is happening as far as ai can see.
