Ahem. The one I quoted, not the one I made. :)

I am indeed a long-term student; finished in May and sort of wandered
into spending another year to get an MS. With plans for more. But
I must note that I was on scholarship, and those people chose to
pay me - it was no burden to them. ;) And future education will likely
be funded by assistantships, etc., which arguably take advantage of
their recipients a little too much.

But this isn't what I meant anyway. College students are in large part
poor because of their lifestyles, combined with their concurrent lack
of good jobs.

BTW - GRGR stuff coming later "today", once I get some other things
done.
