Re: Realism

if the government want a highly educated workforce then shouldn't they be funding the education system"

The government doesn't fund it: the tax payer does. So you as a tax payer either pay extra income tax so some random student can do a surf science degree or you can pay that same "tax" to pay back your student loan for doing some useful technical degree. Alternatively you can decide that a degree won't help you get a better paid job and hence not pay for yours or that surf science students degree.
