Do you think an acceptable cap on a student loan could be say, half of the expected income for someone gaining employment using that degree? For example if a vet can earn $60k a year, then they can only get a loan for $30k to earn the required degree

No, that doesn't make much sense to me. If you're trying to directly tie the loan repayment to the actual economic value of the loan, it would have to reflect the total difference in income earned between the average earner of the degree and the average income without that degree over the course of a lifetime. Plus a host of other factors. Or, and this is crazy, instead of increasing military spending by $60 bilion/yr in perpetuity and permanently cutting corporate taxes financed by $2 tillion of deficit spending...we instead make all state schools tuition free and heavily incentivize private institutions to lower the costs of their degrees or risk losing federal funding. And maybe fund some medicare for all while we're at it. Just an idea.
