It's quite a concept that easier student loan debt would create more of it. Perhaps a better system would have kids starting internships 4 years earlier (i.e. high school) and having the flexibility and context to specialize in a path earlier. And if their career didn't have much use for a degree? Save the time and money. I had learned far more from working/independent reading/independent projects/the Internet in general than in my formal engineering classes by the time I had graduated. Two or three classes stuck out as having a comparable impact as my internships and other ventures, but in reality it's kind of a net waste. I'm more academically inclined than a lot of people, so that really speaks to how important this point is regarding those who grow up not liking academics in the first place.
