High Price of Higher Education

This year the Florida Legislation raised the price of tuition at Florida public colleges. At what point does the price for college and graduate school become an entrance barrier. I am currently in graduate school and paying an incredible price per every credit hour. Like many Americans I was told go to college and then go to graduate school.  You'll find a great high paying job when you get out. Wow, what a mistake! All I found was mounting debt and no job. 
Where is the $80,000 to $1000,000 a year a job that was suppose to be guaranteed? I might be able to find a job that pays $50,000 a year. How am i going to pay my mortgage, car, insurance, and have a life when I am paying $300 to $400 a month for 10 years in student loans? Good bye new car every 7 years, hello pinto and apartment, home sweet home.
