Right wing ghouls seem to think that if you go to college and get a useful (aka high paying) degree, you should be able to pay your college debt easily. This ignores the fact that even highly paid professions like doctors have a lot of people struggling with debt due to the sheer cost of tuition over many years.
That said, under the present conditions of capitalism taking out a large loan to get a degree in something that isn't likely to pay well is basically volunteering for many years of debt slavery.
In a humane society, people should be able to study whatever they want and still be financially secure. Imagine how many fucking artists and musicians the world has missed out on because the objectively safe thing to do is get an accounting degree instead?
