In America, colleges offer training in the theater, the government backs the loans to get it, people are sold that college is their golden ticket GUARANTEED (guaranteed is implied STRONGLY. I had one person teaching at a college tell me he knew NO ONE who didn't have a job who graduated), and then you sign up and the government then puts you into an indentured servitude program that doesn't allow you to get out of it, if it fails.
And owning a house is part of "the American dream" and of course politicians want to make sure EVERYONE owns a home, whether they can afford it or not, because that "stimulates" the economy. And the home is seen as an "investment", because OBVIOUSLY house prices increase. And then lenders, backed by cheerleading by politicians, give out loans. And then they offload the loan on some other sucker and get rich.
