A college degree is essentially the new highschool diploma, it’s required to get virtually any job above minimum wage and even some that ARE minimum wage. What does it do for a country to have a massive portion (if not an open majority) of the young men and women at the age where they would ordinarily be finding a job, a house, and settling down instead barely surviving because they’re effectively getting a mortgage before they even get a full-time job?

That’s a massive chunk of people aged 21-30 (maybe even 35 these days) who will basically not be spending anything but the bare minimum necessary to survive. I think that will pretty much kneecap any economy no matter what you do.
