I think that is because their parents tell them to "follow their bliss" and they end up with degrees that are useless.  Whenever I read an article about someone with high student debt and they are whining about not being able to get a job, it's because they went to graduate school to study "philosophy" or English literature or some thing equally unemployable.  One of my friends, who has a PhD in European History told me when he got his degree, he wanted to teach, but there were no teaching jobs.  He ended up taking the State Department Exam and working for them.  

There are many ways to get an education that do not require heavy student debt.  It's just these young people who have been handed everything their entire lives, don't want to look for alternatives.
