Because it has been my experience. I personally was able to do 2 years of college but the student loans killed me after I wasn't able to get a high paying job. I love when they take money out of my paycheck. Most people have to work for a living, especially poor people. They cannot afford to not have an income, to just go to school... You are talking about lower middle class kids, not poor people. If you've never been poor don't assume you know anything about it. Also a student loan is how you claim the poor can go to college. But I stated that most countries have free schooling. Being poor then immediately adding debt doesn't help yourself at all. Perhaps you should go hang out with some poor people and hear it straight from the source. Not trying to be rude or anything, as you make good points about skilled labor.
