Small issue for me.
I see the value of many degrees. Business, accounting, engineering disciplines, nursing, teacher... Things that lead to jobs.
Many get degrees in Art, history, ethnic studies... All fine except they have a very low demand from employers. too much "personal fulfillment" rather than the belief that a college degree needs to increase your value to future employers.
Apparently its not just an issue in the US. IIRC I read a similar article about ?Denmark?.
The only true way to help students in USA to get rid of their debts is by making Public Universities to be Tuittion Free. Like in France, Like in Germany, Like in Spain, Like in Italy, Like in Norway, Like in Sweden, LIKE IN MEXICO.
In 2004, the Bush administration granted a tax holiday to corporations to repatriate their off-shore earnings. The total cost that we know of was over $350 billion.
Repeat that to yourself.
$350 billion.
And don't take my word for it. I'm an evil liberal, here to take your guns. Here's the Wall Street Journal's analysis:
Because the cost of providing a good or service does not immediately change simply because one of the inputs changed.
For example, gas is $2.19 right now. I fire you, you lose your income, your home, your insurance, and everything else.
The cost of gas is still $2.19.
That's odd, if their service or good is so great, then everyone should be making great money with the degree they invested in and stop whining. If not, why not?
A lot of people do, myself included. I paid off my "useless" History degree 1.5 years after graduating. Of course, finding an entry level job as a staffing specialist which pays $48k/year 6 months after I graduated helped a lot, too. I also turned down quite a few offers, as there is a LOT of crap out there in the private sector. It's not as good as what people make it out to be. I wasn't sure about being a history teacher and don't even want to deal with law school at this point, so I think I'll just focus on making money with my current role.

No one ever said their service or good is "so great". You made that up just now.

OK, so then their service or good sucks the big one. Then why should we subsidize it? I actually don't care what answer you give for any question I ask because the only requirement I have is that your answer makes sense.
