Zeus posted...Given that the system is broken largely *because* of government overinvolvement which has allowed colleges to balloon their budgets unchecked (largely boosting things like administrator salaries), it seems a silly solution. At that point you might want to just issue a blank check to colleges and watch our country crumble under the weight. not sure on the government over-involvement part but the rest seems to boil down to people at colleges get paid too much which jacks up the prices for the students. but conversely while i'm not sure if free college all around would work in this country (just cause it works in one doesn't mean it will in another) but if they did do that, I trust the government would force their pays down to more reasonable prices so not that much is coming out of their/tax payers pocket. i'd opt quickly for a merit based system them though, give them a free ride first year but if they bomb on grades sorry, there goes your funding. I do wish this country would go back to realizing not every career really needs a college degree though. I think some fast food places had toyed with the idea of making it a requirement for managers. probably realizing they'd never hire anyone for as cheap as they want caused them to back out of that idea. --- Cid- "looks like that overgrown lobster just got served!"
