“The schools should be on the hook for unpaid school loans.”
Agree, that would be an ideal solution. And it would eliminate all those joke degrees like “Underwater Lesbian Rain Dancing” since university faculty know that those students are forever doomed to poverty. Unless they become Democrat congresscritters.

I don't know. There's something to be said about learning from your mistakes. The best way for former students to learn to not trust government paid "advisors" (as almost all colleges are public ones) is for the onus to be on the students to pay off loans they agreed to.


Let them feel the pain and they'll be liable to raise their kids to not trust the high school and college advisors who steer kids to college with no real career planning. That'll greatly reduce demand for bull crap college "training", which is the best way to make all this detrimental indoctrination go away.


Then colleges will go back to training people how to do well. You can still get that kind of training in college now, but you have to look for it. If you pick your career first, then ask people already in that career what kind of training is good for them to one day want to hire you, they'll tell you what training has actual value. And sometimes that's college, sometimes specific majors from specific schools. Every industry in your area knows the different 10-week programs, 2 year schools, colleges, and/or grad schools that teach what you need to know for that industry with less of the useless garbage.
