The best thing that could come out of this, I think, is an understanding that large education debts without a real solid prospect of a high-paying job just leaves a person very fragile.
Avoid the debt. Just get a job. Society needs to stop acting like a college degree is important. For most people, it just isn't anything special.
I live next door to a provost at a private college. He said that for most students, the first two years of college are now spent learning things that used to be required to be learned in high school and were prerequisities for college.
