Why wouldn't it be the first resort? I have a degree in hand, increasing my earning potential by, say, $50k a year. I also have 100k in student debt, and approximately zero assets to my name. Why wouldn't I declare bankruptcy the day my diploma arrives in the mail? It's not like they can repossess my knowledge.
