College Ed. isn't "Crap", can tell the difference if 10 years later you will serving at McDonalds or have a good payed job. The car at 16 can be a "crap" that one can pass by and "if you want it, you buy it", the College I don't think is so.

I don't feel a very responsible attitude buy a Porsche and let your son pay the fees...

Anyway here is veeery different.
1- No Bank give loans for student. Sometimes (and is rare) do it for an MBA or so, if you are a good student and can't afford the Master, but there aren't loans for college fees. In fact is VERY rare that a bank give loans to anyone without tenured jobs.
2- Parents are forced by law to give kids any education they want in limit of their possibilities (and because college fees are graded to be ever in the possibility of anyone, it translate that parents pays college forcefully) and of the possibility of the son (obviously if he's not cut to study and he fail the exams is not compulsory education)
3- Situation here is so radicated that isn't minimally at stake the point 1 or 2. No-one will ever think that student loans are a possibility and no parents that isn't literally starving will refuse to pay the college (also because if you are starving you don't pay and you get payed if you remain on an avarage marks or little below)

Sorry for talking about non-american education and loans system... :P
