Wait, we do that already? I don't recall getting any significant amounts of money when I graduated high school! I feel so cheated.

Anyway, there does seem to be a problem with loaning kids lots of money and then parting them from it, but that's a different issue.

You weren't given cash, but today kids are given an essentially unlimited amount of government backed loans to pay for school - the availability of which has caused education costs to skyrocket.
