One of the more popular discussions brought up around the United States is student loans, student debt, college tuition, etc and of it should be free as it would be paid for by tax payers.

Some say yes, college should be absolutely free.

Some say no as perusing high education isn’t a necessary feature for financial success.

Some with a moderate so so believe that those majoring in degrees that indefinitely benefit society should have their college paid for so long as they stick with a career that pertains to their major for a few years after graduating.

Majors in fields such as Engineering, Health Care, Science, etc would be deemed acceptable.

However, degrees that don’t benefit society in a demand should not be covered, such as liberal arts.

What are your thoughts? Should college be free? Should it not? Or should there be requirements and stipulations to having your college career paid for?

No, taxpayers already paid theirs and then have to work to pay more taxes to bail out the younger ones. How about they choose a major that pays enough to pay their loan debt. Something to think about. Liberal arts doesn’t pay as much as engineering and business degrees.
@cherokeepatti I chose to go into esthetics (which I can hardly afford) because I couldn’t afford to go to med school to be a dermatologist. Even the well paying jobs put you in an outrageous amount of a debt lol
