Is $80k of debt from undergrad too much?

Is $80k of debt after undergrad common or absolutely unheard of? Or is it somewhere in between? Is it common for people that work on the Street to have this type of debt out of undergrad? How do they live? Do they ever regret their decision? How do they pay it off?
