22. I'm glad that more than 23% of U.S. kids can go to college.
but most of those (non-rich) ones exit college with soul-crushing debt that they often have college-debt long into their adult lives, which sets them up to "settle", rather than expand their horizons.

Getting a degree to jet a "job" is very different from going to college to LEARN, and to explore what interests you..How many people these days pass up careers in things they might love to do..have a real affinity for, because that debt has to be paid, so they settle for a "job"?...and how often do they have to keep changing "jobs" because the "job" does not pay enough for them to have a life, or the company outsourced it?
