However, what is also interesting to take note of is this:
Foids also account for roughly 2/3rds of US Student Debt:
Not to mention, this is who the majority of the ones who do borrow:

The Department of Education (Department) today will begin notifying more than 804,000 borrowers that they have a total of $39 billion in Federal student loans that will be automatically discharged in the coming weeks. In total, the Biden-Harris Administration has approved more than $116.6 billion in student loan forgiveness for more than 3.4 million borrowers.
