When I left college, I had a student loan of $2,000 to repay. Of course, I also worked while in school, and I had a couple of scholarships. So for me, it wasn't a big deal, despite the fact that my parents paid nothing toward college - nor did I expect them to. Once I was out of high school, I didn't live in their home. There were a few hard times, but I managed.
How times have changed. A "fundamental transformation" indeed.
During the Obama years student loan debt increased by nearly 300%.
No wonder so many end up moving back in with mom and dad. And it's probably hard to find a decent job with that degree in gender studies....
