Student Loan Debt?

Let's teach people to be less responsible by forgiving their debts. Because less responsibility is always better.

Isn’t this why we have bankruptcy law?

I may be incorrect but I thought student loans weren't able to be bankrupted.

No state universities?

I'm not sure what the question is. Yes, State universities. Tuition was considered for all institutions applied to. None were much better than the others.

My understanding too… but forgiven at death or retired by self or third party pay is the way it’s been.

Or an Electrical Engineer, or Doctor, or....

A veterinarian... there are only 32 veterinary colleges in the US. None are inexpensive. I have a son in law that'll be graduating this spring. His wife, my daughter, has been accepted to 7-8 of them and will be attending one of them this spring as well. They have big loans. But they have included paying them off in their life plans. Mortgage, utilities, car, kids, student loans. They'll be fine.

Vets make huge money.
The more popular vet in my town just passed.
His property and solid stone 10,000SF estate home sold for 10 million.
He left the vet office to his son.

I was just responding to your statement about government staying out of education. But state universities are run by state governments who appoint boards of regents. I just found the statement odd about no role for state government in state universities.

I find it curious that "State run" institutions are somehow acceptable. Handing education content, delivered to our future generations, to "the state", regardless of entity, is stifling. Unless cookie cutter results is the intent.

Yep. However, a lot of it depends on what kind of vet medicine you specialize in. Fortunately for both of them, there's a big shortage of veterinarians in private practice and industry right now. Job prospects are good.
