> the stigma of not having a degree will have lessened.
This is already the case in my eyes, where having a degree is a net negative unless in conversation I hear it's actually being used and is returning above median income.
Statistically, that just isn't possible for all holders, meaning any time I hear someone has a degree, it's a coin flip whether or not that means anything at all.
On a separate note, as far as the article is concern I think we're already beyond there. Anecdotally, all of the degree holders within my wife's circle don't have a plan to pay them off. Which means student loans are the new mortgage, and if and when they plan on obtaining a mortgage, they won't pay that off either.
I have people very close to me that have no plans to pay off their mortgages, which means the loaners are just consuming payments indefinitely.
The latest scare to me was learning that community colleges are catching up to universities in terms of the absurdity in cost. I was absolutely floored when I learned what it cost to just obtain a two-year degree.
