What's a real crime is saddling young twenty-somethings with $100,000 in student loans for a degree that qualifies them to flip burgers.

Nobody's forcing them to select majors that are not marketable in today's economy. There are plenty of majors that almost guarantee you a starting salary of at least $40K with lots of opportunity for advancement (accounting being one). Further, there are plenty of schools that don't cost $100,000. There's a whole marketplace of schools and majors to choose from. These kids ought to do a little research before selecting a major in Elizabethan Poetry.

So let's exploit 18 year olds who don't know their butt from a hole in the ground. It's their fault for being so stupid.
