Furthermore, there should be standards on how much a job should pay if it requires a degree. A job that requires a Bachelor, master's, or doctorate should more than pay enough to pay for associated student debt. So, regulate minimums.

You are free. You have the option to go into trades, or college, immediate employment or even start a small business after HS. It is apon YOU to make the decsion to go to college IF and ONLY IF it benefits you. If an industry only pays a certain amount, then don't go into that industry. Why should I, and fellow taxpayers, be the ones responsible for YOUR choice to go into a certain major. In most cases, however, education is not the only option, and it should not be treated as such. In our market economy, I hope you understand that a paid position is based on the VALUE you bring to the company, and if you disagree, you have the ability to negotiate. While I certainly agree that college is FAR too expensive, it is still your choice and thus responsibility to pay for college, not your neighbors, not your friends, and certainly not me.

@doodle baseball EU nations like Germany or the Netherlands often link education cost to salary expectations through strong labor protections.
