Probably because the cost of college has escalated significantly
faster than inflation, significantly faster than the wages of
most available jobs?




It seems that the cost of most everything has gone up faster than the
wages.

However even at that it seems that many people have more money (or
atleast spend ) for things. When I grew up many houses had only one TV
and maybe a car that was bought used and possiably an even older one.

This was with my dad and mom both working at reasonable jobs. Mom was a
book keeper and dad worked for a store repairing appliances and later
at a place building mobile homes.

Now lots have almost new cars, many TV sets with cable, cell phones, and
so on.
Give up much of that and the loans could be paid back.

Too many going to college and not enought jobs for them. That tends to
keep the wages down.

TV sets are a bad example. A little 20" set would cost over $200 in
1970 and that translates to over $1300 now. You could fill the house
with 40" flat screens for that kind of money.

That very arguable given the very low unemployment rate.

That tends to keep the wages down.

Its much more due to the huge numbers of illegals.

Likely, the ones that improve our economy the most.

That is a nice dream but most illegals work in construction,
landscaping, industrial food operations or "hospitality" (maids and
kitchen help).
