Student loan companies convince Florida to suspend the licenses of nearly 1,000 doctors and nurses, and then garnish 100% of the wages.

The college tuition model is partly at fault. On a campus, kids are paying all different tuition rates.
Some are paying full price. Usually, those are ordinary (not great) students whose parents have a good income, so the FAFSA "expected family contribution" is high.
Some really good students, or relatively good minority students, are getting substantial merit aid.
Some kids are getting student loans and grants because they don't have a lot of money. Most colleges give a lot of loans, not grants.
There are other special categories too. Athletes, etc.
The experience is so expensive, and the payments vary so much from student to student, that a spirit of unfairness pervades the situation. Some kids are incurring life-altering debt, some other kids with a "hook" are getting it for free. So if there's some way to beat the system, there's not a lot of moral social pressure involved.
Colleges think this is OK because it allows them to target aid where they want, to "mold" their student body. But people notice.
Quoting: oniongrass That pissed me off when I went to a business school. This Hispanic young woman had a free college ride because she was an immigrant, BUT, she came from a wealthy family overseas. Pissed me off to no end. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77413322 How do you think we got so many sub-par off-shore medical doctors? Made me leave the medical profession altogether. Quoting: RepublicofTexas In Canada or USA? If you had student loan debt, what other way was there to pay it off? If it was paid off, it still pays pretty well.
