yeah.
tbh, a lot of growing up was hearing teachers say "you need to go to college if you want to be successful" when college is a risk. there is absolutely no guarantee that you'll get a job with that degree.
I know people who have a master's degree and they work at a restaurant. Hell, I know someone who has a teaching license and she drives uber.
and to the people who say "oh, well you agreed to the loan, you have to pay it back"... what lender in their right mind will give $100k to a 17-18 year old kid unless it is predatory and has strings attached?
Nobody in their right mind is going to lend $100k to a kid for a house, a business, etc. because it's a stupid decision on the lenders part... but for school? Yeah, here's the money, have fun paying it back for the rest of your life.
So yeah, I think schooling should be either paid in full by the government or at least heavily subsidized. I do think education is important, and anyone who wants to further their education should be able to do so. I don't think people should be punished for trying to better their lives.
