[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For most people in Europe, college is much more affordable.  Getting a degree does not saddle the average student with mind-boggling debt in their twenties. They may earn less, but they have less going out.[/quote]

Depends on the country. The UK has higher debt loads for their graduates than Americans despite being only three years versus the US four years. And American students start out with higher salaries post graduation. And most European universities are far more bare bones, many students live at home and go to the local university. I do think we need reform in American higher education but there's also a lot of unrealistic expectations around American higher education too. If you lived at home and commuted to your local college, it's far cheaper than paying for a fancy private college. And that's the typical European approach. And we actually do have that option here and some people do go this route. But too many take debt to have the four year away from home experience when they can't afford it. [/quote]
