I've worked in an industry that is notorious for long hours, low pay, high cost of entry, and have even had coworkers get killed on the job. Not 6 hours after my coworker was killed I was asked if I was ok to keep working (my normal 14+ hour shift in shotty dangerous equipment). So I've seen abusive business practices. You know what I did. I went to another place. When that one sucked too, I retooled went into web development. I don't work in an expensive tech town or long hours and I didn't take on student a penny of loan debt. Not everyone needs a 100k CS degree and to move straight out to San Fran to be useful or productive and there are plenty of things someone can do (plumber, electrician, skilled trades of whatever kind) without shelling out 100k for a degree.
