yes, university should explain the financial viability of degrees and all students need to go to financial literacy course before taking on debt
@9FQG2VJ7mos7MO
No, it’s the students responsibility to manage their financial outcome, but the price to earn a higher education should be lowered.
@9GWFLNS6mos6MO
No, the students should be held responsible for their own finances but also should have an optional class to help with financial responsibility
@9FPCWDB7mos7MO
No, college should be free and publicly funded.

There is way to much fraud in education, and way to little accountability for the educational institutions.
I think that the colleges should be heald to higher standards, and do a much better job on teaching the basics and their trades and be more honest when the area is saturated with a certain degree type.

This question is very debatable question. I feel there can be more ways to help with this ongoing problem.
