1. Well at that rate sounds like your student loans will be paid off in short order, little less than 4 years at 8%.
2. Not Irrelevant, it's a private institution free to set it's own policies, tuition etc., just as you were free to choose them. If 80% of law schools won't get you a job, sounds like too many lawyers and law schools.
3. Ah, the hand out mentality, must have learned that from your boomer parents. Sure it's better for society as a whole to have an educated populace, it's also way better for the educated. People don't educate themselves for altruism.
4. Most of your generation isn't unemployed. Higher rates of underemployed and unemployment I'll buy but not most.
5. My generation got little more than your generation, quit your whining. Average debt around my time was $12,000, adjusted for inflation it's not that far off the averages now. Yeah a little lower in real terms, but not much. No student loan interest deduction for us either. Ours was non-dischargeable, this is nothing knew.
