Competely different situation. If a person decides to go to University or go straight into the work force that decision affects him - he receives the benefits from each choice, and absorbs the costs. If he takes the college route, he chose to take on that debt. When the British Government borrows £146bn this year to pay for shit that I don't agree with, there is nothing moral or right about that.
But, to go along with your scenario. I would recommend neither, I'd recommend that if he's asking me for advice (so, he isn't obviously academic enough that college is an immediate answer, or he hasn't already got a job), I'd recommend that he seeks an apprenticeship in some kind of skilled labour, or look to start his own business.
