I wonder if people beyond their 20's are going back to college in hopes of meeting a mate?
- mywittyname 10y agoI've always taken "fastest-growing" to mean a small group that's turning into a bigger group. Like, I don't think people would expect China to have the "fastest-growing" population in the world, but American Samoa could.

If you read the linked article, it's about taking on debt for kids/grandkids or repaying debt incurred when they were young. There's nothing in there about a change in the trend of older people going back to school.
