The vast majority of jobs these days require a bachelors degree. And if you're not part of the super-rich caste, you're going to end up taking some loans. That's what everyone does. There are over a trillion dollars in student loans out there that nobody expects will ever be repaid. That shouldn't be allowed, but the West has been totally taken over by financiers.

That's what everyone does.

Maybe a lot of people do, but there are enough scholarships out there if the student is exceptional. It's even easier to get a scholarship if you are black or female. Just don't be a white male.

      The topic is student debt, not whether you think a job is worth something or not. And you obviously understand very little about economics since you talk about "tax payers subsidizing" ANYTHING.

        The super rich buy everything on credit. It's better for tax purposes (and money laundering).
