Duh? Not sure how they let kids enter into hundreds of thousands of dollars of nondischargeable debt before they are allowed to legally drink.

Duh was a poor answer.

Alright try this: By creating a government sanctioned and backed system of educational finance, the government has allowed universities to inflate their pricing without any consequences. The system is rigged to encourage 18 year olds (who are only allowed to vote because they can be drafted), to take on massive amounts of permanent debt in hopes of obtaining a job that now requires an overpriced piece of paper when really all that was needed was an in depth interview. I think Duh is pretty appropriate myself.

enlighten us how you managed to pay for food, transport, housing, bills and then (minimum) 10s of thousands of dollars of debt. all while devoting many hours to something which doesn't pay.

Well it is a self answering question. Higher education almost always leads to debt and is generall before their career starts.
