Alright try this: By creating a government sanctioned and backed system of educational finance, the government has allowed universities to inflate their pricing without any consequences. The system is rigged to encourage 18 year olds (who are only allowed to vote because they can be drafted), to take on massive amounts of permanent debt in hopes of obtaining a job that now requires an overpriced piece of paper when really all that was needed was an in depth interview. I think Duh is pretty appropriate myself.

So what's the fix? My situation is way different. I had to work but the bulk was paid for. How do we improve this?

Gi bill. Grants. Part time job. Savings. Ramen. Walking to class. Is it really that hard to work for something? Yea my dad served the military and I benefited from it. I also worked at 16 and saved. Applied for grants with my GPA it was easy. Part time job 13-15 hours per week within walking distance of campus. It's hilarious that I have to provide exactly how I did it.

Well it is a self answering question. Higher education almost always leads to debt and is generall before their career starts.
