There are many positions in the world which can only be filled by people with extensive education and training, but that compensate those people very modestly. Given that the cost of college education outpaces inflation, and the earned wages rarely even keep up with inflation, this means those people who are trained to fill those positions will never earn enough to pay off their student loans, much less buy a home or raise a family.
Do you think it is a problem that certain jobs (like social workers, teachers, counselors) require educations that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, but compensate those workers too little to pay off the loans they would have to take to get the educations needed to land the job?
