College should cost LESS but NEVER be free to everyone.

[Unkotare]

Campuses are already filled with loser students who are only there because their parents made them go.

College students, for the most part, have reached the age of majority. They are there by choice, not because their parents make them go.

Only Highly Paid Professional Training Can Save Our Economy

They live like teenagers afraid to grow up. Naturally bitter about that, they spend the rest of their lives vindictively making up for lost time by making money any way they can as fast as they can. They are generic and have no more right to be in college just because they want to be there than wannabe college football players should be accepted on the team.

Pay students a salary (with free tuition of course) more than they can expect to make anywhere else at that age. That will get the most talented students and get them to study something useful. Such an investment in our most valuable human resources will pay for itself many times over. The plutocrats better give the few who belong in college the same adult allowance and paid-up tuition they give their sons or it will be our duty as intelligent people to make sure those spoiled brats never graduate.

Haven't you posted this nonsense 3 or 4 times before?

Interesting debate.
You are really lucky that the new President has actual "hands on" experience of running a University.
The lessons he has learned should soon be put to good effect. #maga

I'm not sure how you perceive the comments you've made above pertain to the line of thought to which they are offered in response. Would you like to clarify for me?

That is, in essence, what ROTC does. What is your point?

Just like baseball clubs do, corporations should recruit the most talented high school graduates and pay them a bonus or adult salary and tuition to learn what those corporations need them know. No courses unrelated to the job, unless the corporation wants the recruit to take those courses, which they won't.

Or we'll apply your class-biased indentured servitude education to baseball. A talented player has to take out a huge loan to pay the minor leagues to train him. While down in the bush leagues, he has to live off 5 to 10K a year from low-paying off-season jobs, living like a teenager afraid to grow up, like a slacker living in Mommy's basement.

Dude. You completely ignored the last sentence in the post to which you replied. (See red text.)

Your analogy doesn't at all jibe with what I said. Indeed, the solution option I noted is exactly what you're advocating for and it's widely available to students from all stratas of society. Social class has nothing to do with it.
