Two observations.
If college grads earn on average $1million more than H.S. grads over their working life, and the average student debt is a mere $30,000, what's the problem?
Speaking personally I had no 'net worth' at all until I was in my 50's. After 30 years of working and raising my family I had only $20,000 in savings. So I have little sympathy for those who struggle with student debt, especially if they default.
