No Kevy, that's not what I meant. Jobs that 30 years ago would only have required a high school education (and therefore no acquisition of student debt) now require a college degree. They are still low paying, but the person who gets the job has amassed thousands of dollars in debt just to get to that level, which they should have been able to get to without the degree and debt.
And that fact is part of what forces the Ms. L's of the world to get in over their heads, because that piece of paper is starting to become the "base" level of education. In other words - enough education to actually get by in life is no longer free for all.
