    Don’t think of it as paying for others, think of it as paying to live in a more civilised society. You benefit from talented doctors and engineers that cannot otherwise afford college being a part of your society. Heck, even if they can tackle student loans, which would you prefer, a dentist stressed about making the next payment or one that is carefree and can focus on fixing your teeth with as little pain as possible?

      Read my comment again, you entirely missed my point: I want to think about it as paying it for others. I’m all for it I’ll gladly pay taxes to allow others to go study, it’s one of the things I’ll defend fiercely. An educated society is a better one
