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.

No, it’s the students responsibility to manage their financial outcome, but the price to earn a higher education should be lowered.
@92YHQCV 8mos8MO
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
@9FQNVNJ1yr1Y
yes, university should explain the financial viability of degrees and all students need to go to financial literacy course before taking on debt
@9FPCWDB1yr1Y
No, college should be free and publicly funded.

No, and higher education should be free for everyone No, we should instead focus on decreasing the cost of education No, it is the student’s responsibility to manage their financial outcome
@9GWFLNS11mos11MO
No, the students should be held responsible for their own finances but also should have an optional class to help with financial responsibility

no, and yes if the student goes and tries to get a job in that degree, and if it doesn't work out then yes but an example would be if I got a job in art and I tried for 2 years to get a job and nothing comes up and I have to work a low-income job then yes but the other part of that is what if people use that like they act like they trying to find a job but instead they work in a fast food job and they say they couldn't find a job I do agree with this but only for the people who do try and find a job in their career.
