The whole university system is a joke. Do I think it should be "free", no...not necessarily. If you feel the need to get an education for A) the sole purpose of your own career advancement, or B) don't know how to educate yourself with such a wide array of tools made available to us (libraries, the internet) you might as well be paying for it.
Just a thought.
As of lately it seems like a big waste of time, anyways. Most college graduates are having just as much difficulty finding decent jobs (let's face it, most go to college as a means of furthering their career) as those that opt to just go straight into the work force without any sort of degree....only the latter isn't typically stuck with a large debt they'll be paying off until they are 45.
I just wish more teachers/parents would stress that college is NOT necessary in order to make a living...and any kind of living at that. The majority of richest people (at least in the United States) either never went to college period, or dropped out. It's a fact, not a theory.
Another fact, most of those that attend a technical school (far cheaper + much more practical) end up making more money that those that graduate from whatever given university.
