I'm sure your statistics are airtight, but I think the context of your last question is a bit misleading:
> In Germany, learning a trade pays you. In America, it costs you. What does the average US student graduate owing — before interest?
In the german apprenticeship system, you're paid to work, starting with a low salary, because you're learning on the job. You're also going to school at the same time (one or two days per week), but you aren't paid for that.

Thanks! The "sticky" aspect is the hardest part, still haven't figured that one out yet
