"As far as going into $150,000 into debt., well perhaps these people need to rethink their priorities."

I understand that's an easy (and on the surface and common sense) approach to take. Does that mean, though, that society doesn't need people to get degrees in medicine? or veterinary degrees? Should only rich people consider degrees that require so much money?

I'm not saying that people shouldn't pay their debts. I paid my student loans, but please consider that there are larger, societal issues at stake here -- not just those of personal responsibility.
