One problem, I think, is that student loans don't scale to cost of living. I'm in a position now where I could move to a small town if I wanted to, but only because The Boss and I have spent the last six years (holy shit, six years???) earning money at downtown Toronto rates and paying off loans accordingly. It was much less doable six years ago, when it would have meant trying to pay off the exact same loans at the exact same rates, but earning much much less.
