The reason why student debt is basically unheard of in Denmark since college is free (although to make that happen, the Danish government poses high taxation towards citizens like they do in order to maintain stable social security nets like subsidised healthcare and public housing, also why they have less homelessness).

Mainly Danish, Swiss and European citizens are eligible to study without stressing over student debt upon graduation. It stems from this: Danish government is more on for the people while American government is more on caring about themselves plus nepotism on the side (MORE & HIGHER TAXES TOO ON TOP OF THAT).

    you’re wrong. only 35% of adults over 25 have a bachelors degree or higher.

    50% is if you include ‘some college’ which means people who went but have no degree, or have an associates or other trade school/post-secondary level education.

    no idea where you are getting 60% from, unless you’re talking about certain states where most of the educated folks live.
