As someone who went into 6 figures of student debt to get a graduate degree just to allow me to get an entry level job in my field, I believe we need to fix this system.
Not only do I believe we need widespread student debt forgiveness, we need to stop kidding ourselves about the true value of higher ed.
Most jobs besides those with the highest standards for licensure are completely trainable. Higher ed has turned into gatekeeping a middle class life, which we all should have access to.
