No, and higher education should be free for everyone. Furthermore, there should be standards on how much a job should pay if it requires a degree. A job that requires a Bachelor, master's, or doctorate should more than pay enough to pay for associated student debt. So, regulate minimums.
@9FQG2VJ1yr1Y
No, it’s the students responsibility to manage their financial outcome, but the price to earn a higher education should be lowered.
@9FQNVNJ1yr1Y
yes, university should explain the financial viability of degrees and all students need to go to financial literacy course before taking on debt
@92YHQCV 10mos10MO
The Answer depends on the College, but we should instead focus on decreasing the cost of education until it's free because higher education should be free for everyone
@9FPCWDB1yr1Y
No, college should be free and publicly funded.
@9WVLX9J2mos2MO
No, the student is responsible for paying back their loan at the end of the day. However, loan interest rates should be significantly lowered and reevaluated.
@9VJVCC8 2mos2MO
it is the student’s responsibility to manage their financial outcome, but the cost of education should be reduced.
