Not only that but there is an entire student loan industry ( that Obama wants to get rid of) that has a vested interest in expanding the amount of student debt.
It becomes so easy for a student to justify taking on extra debt to keep from working at a minimum wage job. Year after year the cycle continues but at some point you have to ask is the debt worth the benefit. It seems that for liberal arts majors with advanced degrees it is becoming less justifiable from a cost benefit point of view.
Maybe the bubble will pop when business, engineering, and law degrees aren't able to make back the money spent on the degree.
