Enrollment goes up because there little to no entry level jobs for a high school senior and student loan debt is sooooo easy to acquire, but guess what, there aren't any entry level positions for college grads either. So now they are unemployed and in debt. Furthermore, the cost of obtaining a degree in many fields far exceeds the earning potential of those fields. I could never afford my degree today because being a professional geographer doesn't pay enough to retire the debt. It barely paid enough 20 years ago and college costs way more now than it did then - and wages have been flat for a long time.
