There's another angle here too...and that is whether the people who are having loans forgiven even received X number of dollars in value from their college experience. A LOT of these students did not, which is why students that got swindled into scam "universities" are top of the list for forgiveness.
This is an entirely different topic, but one where I'm sure we have a lot of agreement. I suspect a most people on HN could have gotten to where they are in their careers by starting at a computer trade school (with the exception of jobs where 'the piece of paper' is a requirement for some reason).
