And the fact that Student EDUCATION FUNDING shouldnt necessarly be classified as a "LOAN"

It should be an INVESTMENT into the educational institution on the MERIT and VALUE of the degree taught and received.

Thus: If I am lured into an educational track which promises a market level pay/industry-pertinent-education which makes one employable in said field, but results in NOT... the institution should be liable for such and the investment/"tuition" should be negated and a "write-off" to the school.

That's the same as saying:

"Pay me $100 to teach you how to fight!" Gets ass kicked. "You still owe me $100 for TEACHING you how to fight."

People don't value the things they get for free. Consider how little people value public high school.

I doubt you'll find many people that have side jobs during college to defray costs are partying their way through.
