As I've posted before, "doctors/engineers etc should pay for their training because they benefit from higher salaries when plumbers or bus drivers don't" ignores the fact that plumbers and bus drivers will eventually use healthcare, drive their vehicles on roads & bridges etc.
It's really just an arbitrary political decision where to draw the line to cease funding education - 16, 18, 21 or older
Society needs skills from further education so imho should fund it
