Counter to the other comment, I was in the middle of college and somehow didn't know about that until years later. After I started working in 2011 at least.

How did you miss it? I graduated in 2009 and it was the only thing people were really talking about after the 08 election wrapped up. It took a lot of people I knew over a year to find work.
Graduated in 2010, decided to take the summer off before looking for work. I don't recall anyone talking about it.
May I ask where you went or what you majored in?
BS in CS in Chicago, but from the suburbs and went back there and didn't work during summer/winter breaks.
I think the CS degree maintained a lot of value in those years and probably kept you away from general Econ talk.
