This sounds simply like someone complaining about what prices the market has settled on for education, for the skills that this education provides, and for loans. Yes, I too would like to earn more and pay less.

When it comes to pricing education, there is nothing remotely resembling an efficient market.

Maybe so. I don't know that that changes anything. In fact, I'm not sure what you even mean by "efficient market" in this context.

Even using YouTube for education is much more "efficient" in terms of learning per dollar.
