Thursday, October 18, 2012, 9:25 AM The student loan issue doesn't look likely to go away no matter which candidate wins the Presidency.

The problem is more pronounced in the for-profit sector with evidence mounting that the bang-for-the-buck offered by online, technical, and secondary degrees is waning.
