I'm merely saying that those living on minimum wage are indeed supposed to repay their student loans; poverty does not remove the obligation.
Where did I say ANYTHING about age? Except Teen-ager and what is common for almost ALL teenagers?
Minimum wage jobs are NOT meant to be primary household income jobs.
I don't believe your figure.
Google is my friend (sometimes):
Over half of all minimum wage earners are over the age of 25. Thirty percent of those workers are over the age of 34, and twenty percent are over the age of 44. This issue is not just about young people and summer or part-time jobs.
