Of course they say that, as dropping out isn't a recipe for success for most people. They are the exceptions, not the rule.
That said, college costs more and returns less than ever before. If something costs more than ever yet returns less than ever, consumption of it should reduce. Since this doesn't appear to be happening, a bubble of sorts has developed. That explains the double-major liberal arts grads working at Walmart or as a nanny with burdensome student loans that cannot be dismissed in bankruptcy.
Why is it that student loans are unforgivable, but nearly any other type of financial obligation is?
