It looks like student loans are not just a major problem in the United States, but in other countries as well.
Today alone, I saw headlines about major issues in the UK:

and in Australia:

Bit of a newbie here, but it’s becoming more and more of an issue here in New Zealand, too (unfortunately):

Mine’s already taken longer than I’d planned, and there’s no clear end in sight yet. Looks like it’s becoming more and more a global thing than strictly limited to the US

The differences between the countries with free higher education and those without are starting to become really noticeable.

Agreed. It would be a fascinating thing to observe if it weren’t such an awful situation for many who are having to live with it.

Well put James.
Lately I’ve been trying to find a way to look at the entire situation from a more global perspective. As someone with a ton of student debt it makes it tricky to take a step back and look at it from the perspective of policy makers or even the average taxpayer.
Because the entire thing is such a mess my goal will be to identify all of the different people, schools, lenders, etc that all have a different perspective. Then from that point, try to see how different policy proposals impact each group. Normally when I write an article for the site I know where it is going and the point I’m trying to get across. This one will be different.
