That is funny! Student loans took almost as long for some people. I do not support predatory lending, but I also do no support everything is free because that leads to a surplus of people after the same thing and a new control mechanism: now we are going to do certifications to keep sifting out who can actually get hired after YEARS of paying down loans. After the past 4 years, anyone that survived should be granted an honorary degree as an accountant just like all the celebs that get their keys to the city or whatever they do.
