Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The cost of college education increased by 25 percent since 2008 while student debt increased by over 100 percent for the same period and stands at $1.727 trillion representing over nine percent of household debt. This paper uses a survey to assess the impact of student loans on major life-defining decisions by students in a private university. The results indicate that educational loans have negative effects on savings for retirement, wealth creation, career choices, and life milestones like homeownership and starting a family. Moreover, the financial burden of the loans leads to stress and anxiety about future financial stability.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
