          Where do you search to find graphs like this? I’ve tried google, but for some reason the results they return for this kind of thing are awful. I’m looking for a graph that shows growth of college admins vs student enrollment over time, but google is not helping.

          I'm starting to get the same notices for 'consolidating student loans' that I got for getting a mortgage in 2008. Predatory lenders are already here.

          This to me is the most surprising chart... had no idea the debt was accelerating so much with older age brackets.

          However, a retired person with income contingent debt never has to pay it back unless he is affluent.
