It would seem that things are bad all over.

Maybe if there were more positive money making job opportunities, perhaps some of those people might not be so encouraged to live a dishonest life ripping people off?

Now a days, it's so hard to make a living that people turn to a life of crime. A lot of full time jobs don't pay enough. Inflation is worse than it's ever been. People find it easier to haul off ATM's and rob banks than go to college and apply for unrealistically high college loans that they can't pay off, for jobs that won't hire them for their degree with the excuse that they have "no experience".

Idk what it’s like in the US, but here in the UK the amount you pay back depends on your salary, and below a certain amount you don’t pay either and above a certain age you stop having to repay the loan.
