[quote:oniongrass:MV8zOTkwNjkzXzcyMjE5ODc0X0UyMzY5QzQw] In France they have a much simpler university system from what I am told. College consists of classes and exams. It doesn't consist of a lush campus, dorms, lots of activities, deans in charge of making sure certain valued students are protected from academic consequences of failure, etc. Just classes and exams. The exams are hard, the classes crowded. The strong survive and graduate. The degree is worth something. The system is simpler, so it's more common for a student to have a job, his own apartment (or shared), and basically run his own life while working at getting thru the college. We would be better off with such a system here. Then there would be no expectation that for "equity" reasons, we would be lending people money they can never repay, for food, housing and all living expenses as well as tuition and books. [/quote]

LAKELAND, Fla. (WFTS) — Nearly 1,000 health care workers have lost their license to practice in Florida because they can’t repay their student loans – a new crackdown potentially putting hundreds out of work, the I-Team found.
The move to suspend health care licenses comes after federal student loan companies spent years lobbying states to adopt laws to punish those who default on student loans by taking away their professional licenses.
But an ABC Action News review found Florida is the only state enforcing those laws.
Investigative Reporter Adam Walser uncovered the state’s Board of Health suspended more than 900 health care licenses – including professional certifications for registered nurses, Certified Nursing Assistants, pharmacists and opticians – in the just the past two years alone.
