there should be standards on how much a job should pay if it requires a degree.

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.
