Wouldn't you starve or go homeless even faster if you had no income but were paying for an education?

vs getting paid (a little) to get education.

No, because, when you're paying for an education you can also get loans (at usurious rates) to cover cost of living expenses too!

You won't pay now for that 10k/year required meal plan for cafeteria food and 20k/year for hostel-level accommodation but you're sure going to pay for it later.
