"According to a new report from Project on Student Debt, rising tuition costs are forcing students to borrow so much money that salaries can no longer keep pace."

Yea at some point you have to ask yourself if it's worth the quarter million that you're spending to get an education in something like social work which could be very fulfilling but won't help pay off those student loans. The other problem with this is it forces people to pick majors that can earn more money when they graduate and not what they actually want to do. Then in turn some colleges are raising prices to receive a degree in these fields.
