This is very worrisome. This is ballooning student debt. And unlike other forms of debt, you don't get to discharge student debt in bankruptcy.
So..plan a career, get higher education, have your plans disrupted, and your life is ruined with no escape. Enjoy the 21st century.
What is really sad is that there is no evidence that colleges are providing a better product. In fact the switch to grad students and adjunct faculty means that the actual delivery of their education should be cheaper. (Of course universities are getting less efficient, so it isn't. But the cost of classroom instruction time is not what is going up...)
