[E. Pluribus Unum]

The colleges could charge whatever they wanted because the students would borrow whatever was required.

Now they are buried in debt and can't buy things like cars and houses.

The colleges stole it all.

[Dilbert San Diego]

And that ties in with the notion so many have, that their kids must go to college, preferably a prestigious private college, and the cost doesn’t matter.

But then, some come out with degrees in subjects which dont translate into job and career fields in our economy.

If you rack up college debt and end up working at Starbucks or Target, your college education didn’t qualify you for a career field which would give you a good paying job in order to pay off the debt.

Student loans may make sense if you study nursing,,accounting, various fields in the hard sciences. But they make no sense if you get a worthless degree in women’s studies, black studies, or English literature. If you get a degree in a field in which the degree won’t qualify you for a job or career, good luck.

The colleges are just a conduit.
They pay the dough to a plethora of liberal admins and profs who donate to Democrats.
The “big education” cycle....
