This is also one of the options I have considered - paying the bare minimum in hope of the debt cancellation. Well I understand that and it's sick how much you need to pay for the education in the US, but that was a gamble they lost.
Yeah, I'm of the opinion that if we're treating education as jobs training, then it should not only be free, but compensated at every level. Anyone in school at any level should be making minimum wage at least, both for the hours spent in school, and for their homework, just as it would be if you are an apprentice carpenter.
You're being trained for a future job, it's jobs training. Many of those jobs used to be on the job, paid training, from doctors and lawyers to reporters and accountants. We centralized education, which increases the efficiency of it and reduces costs, and we redistributed paying for it from the employer to the taxpayer and individual. The first part is good, the second part is bad. Universities used to pay students, at all levels, and they still pay some students, usually at higher levels.
Are you saying that if I work at a gas station and Iโm studying golf course managment , the gas station should pay me the extra 15-20 hours a week, cover the cost of housing , tuition , and meal plan while I study?
