This argument is flawed in part because this person can sell the piece of machinery and recover some of the investment. You cannot do this with education.
The federal government didn’t hand out tens of thousands of dollars in loans to children who had no concept of what it meant to be saddled with that debt for their lifetime. Kids were indoctrinated into this system of higher education. This is coming from someone with no student debt by the way.
The flip side is. You will give an 18 year old $100k loan for school but not $10k for a business loan. It’s something terribly wrong with that picture
Another way of looking at this is to think of the return society gets when it elevates the level of education it’s members have. There is a real benefit for the whole of the community.
People go into college KNOWING that they are going to accumulate debt and still choose to pursue the degree - and accumulate the debt. If we're going to allow student loan forgiveness, then let's forgo all student loans entirely and just provide free post high school education to all.
So many great graduates that have seen success. We need to tell these stories to ALL current students, to see college is not the only pathway. Tell the story of graduates everywhere, we can help. Take a look, then lets talk. https://bit.ly/3GoAcpt
100% agree
Mike Rowe is calling attention to work preparedness that is putting our youth in bondage to expensive college degrees they may spend one to two years ACTUALLY using - while searching for what they really want to do in life. Be mindful.
It’s called commitment. If they won’t pay their loan back why would they do a complete job for me !

2yNot quite true. The equipment is an asset that can be sold even after its full depreciation is accounted for. Not so for a diploma.
