And for every rich person, there's 19 more that got screwed one way or another with scholastic loans.
The last major age generation (the ones who are in their 50's to 60's) pulled the ladder up on us millenials. Ive heard the stories that college education in the '60s and '70s were affordable to the point that a summer job would cover 100% of the expenses. Instead, I ended up in $30k in debt.
The debt is a fact of life. And so is the likelihood that social security will not be there when/if I retire. The age keeps moving up and up, which is a form of generational theft.
Next time, try depersonalizing these types of articles. The problem of higher ed debt is a scary $1 trillion behemoth with no end in sight. When that bubble bursts, we all should worry.
