  Free education will make the world a better place in the future for everyone. Debt forgiveness is just for people who don’t want to pay their bills because they studied something that doesn’t pay.

    Curing diabetes will make the world a better place in the future for everyone. Insuline is just for people who want to eat candy all day because they hate themselves

    /S

    Ps: it’s hilarious how quickly you showed the true colours you pretended to hide in your first post

    I’m genuinely confused by this? I know CompSci and engineering majors that are having trouble with loans and are you saying that they should have tried a more profitable degree… What?

      I’m saying people made choices.

        I’m saying people made choices.

        Normally we call that ‘victim blaming’; even when the victimization is financial by the univer$ity.

        I get you have this “do the crime, do the time” thing for people choosing to spend on education; but aside from multi-decade reform plan that isn’t even as marketable to voters as “let’s just consolidate healthcare and save money”, what do we have that’ll help people avoid the looming debt trap that has such a chilling effect on others entering post-secondary education?

        You do NOT get a choice about getting an education in a vast, vast majority of life paths in the developed world.

        I know a lot of people and exactly two of them are working in the field they got degrees in. You cannot always control the direction of your life, anything from medical issues to family emergencies to economics in your region can profoundly impact your chances of landing a career in your chosen study field, or even just getting a simple job that can pay back tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars as the interest snowballs.

    This is true.

    Debt forgiveness is just for people who don’t want to pay their bills because they studied something that doesn’t pay.

    This is utter garbage. Judgemental much? Maybe your own experiences aren’t the same for everyone.

      I do not have a degree. Still here and happy. Make better choices.
