If the workers were getting educations that were worthwhile, they wouldn't need the state to pay for them. No one cries for a doctor leaving school with $150k in loans, since their starting salary will likely be $150k.

But yeah, the grandparent is right - the US's problem is non-dischargable loans which removed back pressure on schools to control cost.

> worthwhile

Well, worthwhile for whom? Just because the student won't capture an extra $150k from his university education, doesn't mean he won't produce that or more to the rest of society.
