How? Because of a vicious cycle that begins with the low wages. You pay someone low wages so: 1) their kids can't pay for college => they can't get a proper education => lack of education/skillset in the kids 2) their kids have to work at these 'corporations' because of lack of education so they can put food on the table 3) their kids resort to stealing or some other illegal activity because they didnt have much of a choice => go to juvenile detention => no college => no skillset that you claim is not your fault Is that enough or do you want me to go out and get some case studies as well?

That's not true. The government offers grants and loans for those with low incomes. I should know, that's how I paid for school. Skillsets and education must be earned; they are not granted. You're still failing to provide evidence as to how the corporation is the party at fault.

  So, loans are the answer to everything? Are corporations guaranteeing higher wages and certain jobs to everyone with degrees? What about : http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/ripping-off-young-america-the-college-loan-scandal-20130815?print=true http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/ripping-off-young-... from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6224982 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6224982 Did you even look at that? Just because you were lucky enough to be able to pay off your loans doesnt mean everyone is. What if they dont find a job in their field? And have to work at minimum wage? What about the veterans that come back from fighting for the country which includes these 'corporations'? Do the corporations guarantee them a higher salary? http://www.epi.org/blog/raising-minimum-wage-benefits-million-veterans/ http://www.epi.org/blog/raising-minimum-wage-benefits-millio... What about : http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-12-28/minimum-wage-in-u-s-fails-to-beat-inflation-chart-of-the-day.html http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-12-28/minimum-wage-in-u-s... How is that not EXPLOITATION? Just because the rich people are able to keep minimum wage low by having funds and time to spend lobbying, does that mean that it is correct?

    I didn't pay my loans, the army did, after I returned from Afghanistan.
