Loans and cost of schooling is such a trap these days that being a plumber is more profitable long term than something like a doctor.

For profit education is a scam and so are the loans that support it. The fact that anyone would spout such garbage in support of it is kind of a weirdly fitting example of how little education the average person gets these days.

That's nonsense. The average individual with a college degree earns over a million dollars more in their lifetime. The average student loans are only $30,000 and that's ignoring all the people with no loans at all. There is no better investment a person in this can make than their own education.
