Some people believe an XBox has intrinsic value.

And much like the people who believe education has intrinsic value, they should pay for it themselves.

In the US, most people pay for education with private money.
Sure a real liberal arts education where you study the classics has intrinsic value.

Job tech training not so much.

Certainly, but I very much doubt 55% of America is paying tens of thousands of dollars for that reason.
