What do Night Shift anons think the true solution to student debt is? Sooo many of the upwardly mobile middle class members have been duped into the college and grad school scheme. From my own experience, nearly all of the content in my education that added up to a doctorate could have been self-taught - just give me the textbooks and teach me the physical skills (e.g. apprentice style). Looking at the situation, I feel that the government in collusion with licensing orgs/boards and mega-corps have played an integral role in inflating the cost and extending the timeline to achieve an “education”…the education that many of my friends, colleagues and fellow generational members were told (sold) was necessary or normal to achieve a reasonable lifestyle.

Curious to hear what anons think the long term and righteous solution should be. According to some reports, nearly 40% of student debt payments after the recent resumption were missed - HUGE debt ticking time bomb that is getting more and more politicized!!!
