I'm not sure government subsidized loans are the solution. In the US we have a huge student loan bubble because of government subsidies, and schools are just becoming degree mills to keep getting that sweet government cash. They work in the UK, at least. I don't know about a bubble, the problem with loans here is that they are not targeted well based on income in addition to being too meager for those who really need them plus the way we administer the repayment plans is burdensome and costly for both individuals and government. pls posted... Imo the best solution is to stop treating college degrees as required when they're not required for most jobs that ask for them. That way people won't feel like they "need" a degree and we won't have to worry about everyone getting something regardless of whether or not they can afford it. that's up to private businesses --- He would make his mark, if not on this tree, then on that wall; if not with teeth and claws, then with penknife and razor. <cite>Balrog0 posted [p:888361089] in Ending fre...
