My question is this: Why on earth are you going into so much debt?

I would wonder about that too --- $20,000 a year tuition if you have to go into debt for it is extravagant. That would mean you'd be $80,000 in debt in 4 years, unless the degree gets you $100,000 a year right off the bat, it would be better to look around for a more affordable university.

Well if this persons politics are far enough left when he graduates, there are plenty of non-governmental organization, NGOs, that will hire him to help subvert the laws of the nation and put his socialistic ideas to work.

He could work for any number of environmental organizations like the Sierra Club, Greenpeace, Green Cross International, etc. Or for the Rockefeller foundation, the Pew foundation, the Tides foundation, etc. Or the UN, ICLEI, INEP, etc. Or the OAS, oh, you get my drift.

Or become a teacher. The NEA and many teachers unions are really fond of social justice and economic justice. They hire in kind.
