Graduation … an expensive business.
Photograph: Brooks Kraft/Sygma/Corbis I may not look like it, but I am a modern-day serf. Saddled with thousands of dollars of student debt – debt that has been stripped of all consumer protections and is non-dischargeable in bankruptcy – I am part of a screwed generation. Earlier this year, the collective student loan burden in the United States passed the $1tn mark. Analysts are increasingly referring to a student loan bubble that could result in a crisis similar to the subprime mortgage crisis of 2008. A bad job market for recent graduates and skyrocketing education costs have greatly exacerbated the problem.

Yet following graduation every major decision I made was shaped by my terror of defaulting on the loans. The trouble with serfdom is that serfs don't last very long. Strange New Ways to Pay for College. Student Loans Are Holding Back Economic Recovery, CFPB Says. A top regulator is once again sounding the alarm on student debt, warning that the ballooning market is putting the economic recovery on hold.
"Policymakers cannot sit by as passive observers," Rohit Chopra, student loan ombudsman for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, recently told the Financial Times. His remarks came a few days after the CFPB released a report likening risky student loan practices to subprime mortgage lending, which contributed to the housing bust. "Borrowers may be paying higher rates than what their risk profile justifies," Chopra said. Chopra told the FT that overly high interest rates may be preventing student loan borrowers from buying first homes. Many economists say that it is necessary for would-be first-time homebuyers to start buying in order for the housing market and broader economy to recover. This isn't the first time that Chopra and the CFPB have sounded the alarm about rapid growth in student loan debt. Data show student borrowers over 30 a growing population.

The majority of borrowers still paying back their loans are in their 30s or older. And the average debt per borrower has steadily climbed, from $15,651 in the first quarter of 2005 to $24,301 in early 2012.
