I worked 40-50 hours/week & went to school full time. I grew up on a small farm certainly did not have money to go college. I was raised to never borrow money except for tangible needs. Equipment, barns, house.
Colleges & universities should be fined. Loans started about the time I started college. My tuition quintupled over the four years I was in school, even though they went to four day weeks, reducing teaching time 20%.

Tuition can only raise by 2% a year...
And universities set courses that may require a student to attend classes anywhere from 1-7 days a week...
Regardless, the thread is about what should be done concerning debt today... Having millions of in debted workers is not healthy for an economy....

No, then they should forgive our credit card debt,
Not fair to those who paid theirs back.

It would seem the very first thing to do is to entirely remove the government from the student loan process.

Great point Peter, things should be looked at by percentages rather then dollar amount. For instance was was the percentage of what kids paid then to now, then we should try and maintain those same percentages today. The colleges should still get their profit and students manage the debt appropriately. It should not be only the people with a higher incomes who can afford an education.
We have to see the big picture here, how to make as many citizens as possible to be productive and self sufficient, to be an asset to society, and not a drain in the long run.
Presently we are 65th in the percentage of our GDP to funds going to education. I don't know about you but I not only find that shameful I find it not advantageous for our own self preservation in competing with other countries. Want to know who is at the top of the list? Cuba...Yep, they also help their people in healthcare better then we do.

Mostly paid for by the students... There are scholarships and loans available if necessary...
The costs are much lower... Average degree will run a person between $10,000 - $20,000...

They take stupid courses that 'sound' good to their 'liberated' brain - but then there are no jobs for the self-centered, spoiled little shits. Let them rot in their parents basement while they wash dishes at the local cafe.

This is what is said of our college tuition but I can tell you given what my son’s cost these numbers are not correct and certainly must be averaged out...
The average cost of tuition and fees at a ranked in-state public college is about 72% less than the average sticker price at a private college, at $9,687 for the 2020-2021 year compared with $35,087, respectively, U.S. News data shows.Sep 14, 2020...
My son’s annual cost is right at 30k but he also isn’t saddled with grants or loans either...Had he taken a grant it would have still been 23 to 25k...
