I had been traveling around Minnesota a couple years ago while seeking this office, and I was stunned by the increasing number of students who were relying on loans and by the increased amount of money that undergraduates and graduates were building up in debt before they even got their first job in the workplace. It is $25,000 for somebody attending a 4-year public institution in Minnesota; $50,000, even in a couple cases over $100,000, for people who have come out of graduate programs. Have you had that same experience in South Dakota in the last few years?
