The problem with the US college/debt system is we combine three features: study anything, at any school you can get into, and take out nearly unlimited loans to do it. Big loans aren't bad if you use them to study medicine, and a lot of student debt is held by grad degree holders: the issue is people taking on debt that people can take on debt that isn't a very good investment in themselves.
