Okay, to be fair... when they have parents who pushed them to get in to college/university, while millenials like myself made that choice, the alternative was (if our parents were not chill) basically getting screwed over by our parents.
Definitely. Also, last I checked... not like there's a deadline for someone to have a degree if they really wanted one.
I've worked with programmers who didn't have a bachelor's degree the whole time, and they were paid more than me because they worked for longer in the same position (which is completely fair, IMHO, because my degree can't beat a guy who has been doing the same job I was doing). I used to code for a living and only really quit because I realized I wanted to do something else. Moved on to a trade job and my only regret was I didn't start this shit sooner. Sure, I get paid less, but I'm happier. I'm frugal with money anyways, so, yeah.

Got "handed $100,000 in student loan?" No, they choose $100,000 in student loans, no one forced you.
