I've got student loans myself, quite a lot. However when I asked for them I made sure that the profession I choose is profitable enough that I will be able to repay them.

I'd never ask other people to repay it for me, not would I ask my government. I'm an adult and take responsibility for my actions.

I'd wonder if the same government that's willing/able to spy on me are also willing/able to influence relative success of certain industries or even specific success of certain companies.

How much of my career decision would truly be mine if several of my possibilities say "poverty subsistence" or "early death" and I have to accept that or toss those possibilities out?

And I did well enough in school to get scholarships and avoid college debt. Congrats we both beat the system currently destroying thousands of students. That doesn't mean we should avoid fixing it.

"Fixes" that are moral hazards often don't fix anything.

The schools wasted everyone's time and money, from inflated rates to useless courses. If anyone should eat the debt, it's them.
