Society should move away from student loans and consider free college

Regarding student loans: In the past, a high school diploma was sufficient, and one could advance in society and find a meaningful career with one. Thanks to taxpayers, a high school education has been free and accessible to everyone.

Nowadays, a high school diploma doesn’t have the weight it once had, and so a bachelor’s degree or more is becoming necessary for one to advance in society and find a meaningful career. Maybe we should consider expanding that free high school education to free college education, so that we can advance our society as a whole and use taxpayers money toward something meaningful, at the very least up to a bachelor’s degree and trade certification.

Let’s gradually move away from student loans or find a way to ease the burden if we can’t.
