But it ain't likely anybody else will pay for it!

Sure. But if they make that kind of money, nobody else needs to pay back their loans. And if they don’t, we shouldn’t pay back the loan just because of their poor decision to get a worthless degree. There is no way this can be painted in a positive light. Yep!

I did 4 years in university. I left owing about $2700.
My parents covered tuition the first two years, which was about $2600/ year.
A drop in the bucket compared to the rest of the costs.
I worked construction all summer, saved up some, lived in a tent in the bush for a year, and even worked Fridays and weekends....lived on Sidekicks, eggs, baked beans and snared rabbit from on campus. Peaches in a can were awesome.
I didn't drink, applied for bursaries, and at Christmas family would give me gift cards to restaurants.
I found a way to not go into debt, and it didn't involve wealthy family bailing me out.
Forgiving student debt is yet another way of coddling society and removing responsibility for prior actions.
You took out a loan Pay it back.
Or perhaps find a way to avoid the loan, or don't go to university.
It's not mandatory.

We can make fun of the college educated, but when I hear what a couple of my nephews are starting at, one with a civil engineering degree and one with a masters in business it makes those $23 per hour starting wage jobs look pretty shabby. I know a person who manages a WalMart, he has a business degree, he is in his late 30s and well over 120K before bonuses. Not everyone who goes to college gets worthless degrees or is not capable of making a decent living.
Bryce I don't recall anyone saying otherwise.

Bryce I don't recall anyone saying otherwise. I thought that too. There's good education and there's "poor education". I think liberal arts was mentioned, not engineering or business. I know a Mormon fella that got a business degree, then went to dental school. He makes money while he sleeps at night.
Life ain't supposed to be easy.
