Of course between no school and school with loans the choice is clear (in an (post-)industrialized country, mind you).
Doesn't always seem clear to me. The whole point of the article was that you could be saddled with loan payments for a very, very long time with little to no improvement in job prospects.

Yes it is because grand-parent stated he wanted to go to school (that's how I read it) and that statement of mine is a follow-up to that train of thought where I pointed there are more than 2 options.

You are stacking only two options against each other. There are countries where there are no schools and countries where school is being paid by the community via taxes.
