    OTOH I can see parents not questioning the numbers from FAFSA (which were INSANE) and going “Well, I guess that’s just what college costs now…”

    There needs to be relief for people trapped in predatory loans, worthless degrees and useless for profit schools.

    My wife got a good degree… in print journalism, just before that industry folded in like a wet newspaper. She’s STILL carrying $40K in debt that she just can’t get rid of, worked in her chosen field for 90 days 20+ years ago, and hasn’t been able to use her degree since. :(

    She got trapped in a cycle of low paying service jobs and here you go…
