That person clearly is not a victim of the school, rather that person is the victim of a predatory loan.

Just think about it. A degree doesn't have to cost $300000 but the bank financed it anyway, with the clear intention of working that person down to their bones. Why would a bank let someone take a debt that takes 10 years of work to repay? Because they want to force that person to work for 10 years. If the law were sane the debtor would default as soon as possible.

This is what I am talking about with the entitlement society - zero responsibility assigned to the person for their poor decisions.

It's the other way around. It's lender who has zero responsibility since student loans cannot be discharged during bankruptcy.
