The sad part is most of these students will get degrees in uselessness.

alternate explanation: the job market is so crappy right now for anyone coming out with a freshly minted Bachelors Degree that most students are opting to go to grad school rather than enter the job market. (at least that way they can maintain deferments on the loans they took for undergrad studies)

And the EZ money student loans are what make it so easy for colleges to increase tuition at many times the rate of inflation for the last several decades. Get the government and the regulation out of the student loan business, make students qualify for loans based on their income like they would for a car loan, and the cost of college will have to fall to meet the resulting demand.

A woman I know got a BS & then MS on either state or federal loans about 15 years ago. She has never paid them back as the loans can be put off as long as the student is in school. There’s a 9-month grace period before repayment starts. So every 9 months she takes an art class & puts them off another 9 months. There’s no limit on how long this can go on.
