I think we are mostly talking past each other but a few quick things.

If you want to bring up a relevant analogy it has to satisfy the criteria of an industry that most people not being needed to be a part of for society to function.

Many college degrees are necessaryfor society to function.

And here's where we're coming into conflict; letting the student debt continue; having so many people go to school and end up in debt is not causing shortages in jobs. If anything it's causing a saturation of the job market and giving companies even more leverage to raise the standards higher than need be for their job openings. Tuition prices constantly rising over the past decade is proof they have no shortage of applicants.

Teachers and nurses are starting to experience shortages.

What is the benefit to someone going to college for a degree in humanities over going to trade school? Why should the country pay for someone saddled in debt for going to school for an Art degree?

This one cracked me up.

You know that people take out student loans and are in debt from trade schools right? The debt forgiveness plan helps them too.

Also, many humanities majors go into teaching which is very important for society functioning.
