Yeah, that would look something like this:

Age 21, graduate college, get first job, live in apartment with two other guys, drive a used car. have fun with the ladies.

Age 23, go to graduate school for MBA. Borrow 100K, to go to a "quality" school.

Age 25, graduate again. sign on with a fortune 500 company as a "middle manager" find first wife, live in an apartment due to oppressive student loan payment.

Age 28, go thru first corporate "re-org" or downsizing. lose job. move to a new city to find employment where there arent as many unemployed MBA's about.

Age 30, change to new "innovative" employer, seeking better pay and stock options. wife takes a job, so you can have a mortgage in the burbs and student loan payment.

Age 33, your "innovative" employer goes under. it seems that nobody really cared about that particular innovation. move to another city to find employment. wife gets angry about constant moving.

Age 34, get job with another fortune 500 company. hope this one will be stable. buy a cheap house in the burbs, as the student loan payments are still oppressive.

etc...etc...
