When was the decision to go to college changed from being a privilege, to being a right?
Stop requiring a college degree for every job and this will all end.

It's probably because it has become more of an expectation to go to college. It's sort of how high school is provided to everyone free of charge if you want to go the public route. Undergrad is the new high school.
Then again I think it's a real possibility that it shouldn't be this way, and trades shouldn't be as stigmatized. But what the hell do I know.
Eta: it's kind of a shitty system that a lot people are required to possibly go into pretty big difficult debt just to compete at a baseline level. I don't have any answers really, but I think something is wrong with the system.

This country wastes an exorbitant amount of money on education with nothing to show for it. Meanwhile our dangerously under funded prison system is almost nearly close to being surpassed by China as the world's largest. Are we really going to let that happen?

I agree, and that's unfinished. Students also forgot about the real world expectation of paying the banks back. Nothing in life is free, and students were never pushed to understand that concept.

This is the most ignorant statement ive read on here. Gladly took a "Handout" one they probably worked hard for in highschool? well most students......having it at a 2.5 GPA is a handout....but the ones getting a full ride from tops, the 3.7-4.0 crowd worked hard. STFU GTFO.

It is really sad that you can't go to a two year school and learn some basic coding, SQL and other advanced computer skills.
I have a bachelors in communications. After spending 4 years in retail after college, I realized that I had chosen a bad path, and went to a community college and got an AS in computer programming (all classes at night and online while working full time). I'm now on what I consider to be a lucrative career path in a growing industry. I took out loans for the AS, and it only cost $8,000 total. I am still a little behind the curve in skills compared to my peers who studied computer science from the start, but that just means I have to continue to work hard and learn new things.
Bottom line, what you said is possible.
ETA: I know my loans aren't close to what some people owe, but I would never expect for them to just be wiped out. Like others have said, it was a risk I took to better myself, but I'm thankful that I live in a country that gives me the opportunity to take on that risk. I'll gladly pay what I owe.

Yeah but isn't it the government's responsibility to adequately educate it's people? Otherwise we end up with a nation of fricktards, right?
Free economy principles state that if a nation needs educated individuals, then there will be financial incentive for individuals to become educated, and many will become educated for that incentive

I don't think that's the word you were looking for.
But also, there are things that are beneficial to society but not to the individual so that a free market can't be depended upon to provide it. There's no financial incentive to have a library but there is still a benefit to society, see?

It is a handout. And TOPS does not provide a "full ride" even with the Honors Award. 3.0 GPA in high school to get Honors is not "working hard".

Union busting also contributed to the loss of decent blue collar jobs.
Really? You honestly believe that? The states of the Rust Belt that hemorrhaged jobs and population are heavily unionized states. How about, "Unions, in a fatal case of short-sightedness, overpriced their labor to the point it killed entire industries (Big Steel, autoworkers in Detroit)."?
