The assumption in this that everyone attends the state flagship is very slanted. In fact most go to a local CC or college and live at home. Only a small % can go to the flagship in most states. And working for min wage–only if you have zero skills. Most people can wait tables or bartend /serve etc and do much better than that. Yes it is hard and most have to borrow some but at least be closer to reality.
