Why? University education is corporate welfare, used by corporation to sort and train their workers, so they don't need to pay for it (they offload one of their costs). Why should tax dollars be used to pay for corporate welfare? Not saying it shouldn't be done, but would want to have it explained why it should be done. |
no, its part of the education that many young people want to have in order to do well in life, for that reason, like other forms of education its the job of the state to provide it as a service for the people.
university education should both beneficial and enriching to society as a whole, not just the individual, though obviously they gain a qualification and the experiences that come with University life and study.
what degrees people do should be up to them, if all is fully funded, they just need decide what course they like best, corporate or not, that should be the choice of the people.
maybe University works differently in the USA, but in the UK people study what they want to study and generally Uni is considered a great experience for people too, sadly because of the Capitalists students here now have to take on great debt as a big disincentive to those from less well off or less aspirational backgrounds.
there are some easy ways to fund this too, inheritance taxes should be at much higher rates for instance, people shouldnt get money for being lucky enough to be born to that family when there parents die, so technically you cant justify any money they do get, which makes this an easy to raise and very fair tax that also promotes equalities within society.
