The Daily Show: Student Loan Debt Crisis (Video)

This past Thursday, The Daily Show went into the field with Aasif Mandvi to explore the student loan debt crisis with high school students. They had a college graduate with $170,000 debt spew out warnings and cautionary notes about the woes of student loans. His four-year, private education left him shackled with debt.

The Daily Show is brilliant with their splices, clips, and cuts, but I wonder how much the students can listen. We’ve been conditioned to believe that college comes next. Until Congress can fix the system, maybe high school students should look elsewhere.
