I would argue that requiring social/economic path that loads people down with high-debt at the beginning of their life is a recipe to destroying a lot of beneficial economic activity. (irrespective of if their specific career pays a lot). I strongly suspect that if you took the exact same amount of money as is spent on education today, financed it using either public debt or taxation or some mix, and direct funded more education through public universities, education would run more efficiently, and society and businesses would benefit economically more than individually loading people down with educational debt.
