I know this is unrealistic, but the universities that give out degrees in nonsensical programs should bear some of the cost, instead of foisting it off on taxpayers. If you cannot find a job in your degree then the University should pay part of your debt. How much do the professors and university staff earn. I know many of the universities also get huge amounts of money from alumni in many cases.
I worked my way through college and earned 3 degrees with zero debt. However it was way more affordable back in the 70s. The prices universities are now charging for a degree is a travesty. Education should be way more cost effective for young people just starting out. Plus, what happened to parents saving for their children's education. I partially paid for my son's education, my daughter waited and put herself through school (long story). Without some accountability on parents, students and universities this system is doomed to fail.
