Higher education is a noble pursuit. Unfortunately, in the US, it’s also a pricey one. In fact, The Institute for College Access & Success reported that 65 percent of 2017 grads carry student debt – at an average of $29,200.

Long-percolating patterns and pressures firmly coalesced around permanent shifts in digital consumer behavior (hello, TikTok!), late-cycle upticks in consumer credit default (the trough was actually WAY back in 2015), dramatic changes in technology for the industry, and meaningful new regulatory guidance.
