On the one hand, "you don't have to go to college" - Animal Collective. But on the other hand, free college seems good. Sounds off in the posts below.

If you actually want to be there and are taking something meaningful and in-demand, sure. If you're the 9000th loser idiot in the 4 year video game development degree program and you're only doing it so your parents don't see you as the disappointment you are, get hosed My college was free though, because I don't live in America

I feel like education should be free because a well-educated population is less likely to break into my car and steal my goddamn 80 year old gps (seriously it didn't even have a fuse in the car adapter I just dummied it with the spring out of a pen when it burned out you're going to burn your car down)

Move to Philly. Buy a loft. Start a noise band. Get 6 or 7 roommates. Eat hummus with them. Book some gigs. Paint. Smoke cloves. Listen to Animal Collective. Start some type of salsa company.

College makes you look good, it's a resume builder, a very expensive one at that. 18 year olds shouldn't be setting high expectations for their future at their age. They come out of college and expect the world to embrace them. Get a job, first, go to college second. That's my opinion anyway.

Nah it's a neoliberal lie that college leads to better lives. We need welfare state first and offer/incentivize training in needed vocations second.

By 'free' do you mean I, the tax payer, pays for 200 text books and 200,000/yr professors  Or that the budget is re-done so that we don't get taxed any more but maybe buy less missiles I'll go for the 2nd

My undergrad education was free because my family was poor and I also had good grades, but because I decided to educate myself even further and go to vet school I still ended up with a depressing amount of debt. It really sucks especially because now I'm not really happy with my job and it will be hard for me to do something else because of debt. My payments would go down because I would use income based repayment. Without the IBR my payments would be like $1000 a month. So... Yes

I think the cultural pressure to go in straight after high school kind of sucks. Experiencing working life first might have changed what I ultimately ended up doing, hopefully for the better. Then again maybe it wouldn't but at least I would have been more mature and understood more about how the world really works, before deciding what I wanted to do for the rest of my life...

no. if the poor have an accessible path to higher education (or for that matter a secure future) it will be harder to herd them into prisons and the military, where their blood is needed to grease the cogs of diabolical engines of profit. furthermore, an educated populace forms a bulwark against tyranny, introducing unwanted challenges to both the intermingling of government with capital and making it harder for the already dwindling surplus defense spending to lead to the increased militarization of the police, both of which in turn would make it harder to suppress challenges to existing systems of oppression and control across the board the systems are all interconnected and if you disrupt one people are liable to think that things don't necessarily have to be as bad as they are, which will eventually make it slightly more difficult for a hardworking inheritor of existing wealth and privilege like me to get more toys than any human being in history for absolutely no reason and then hoard them until I die what is that squeaking sound what's that you're wheeling out some kind of large wooden arch with a metal blade inside? see this is the kind of unproductive pie in the sky nonsense the loony left wastes their time on, putting my head in a hole underneath this lousy metal blade, what is that even supposed to accompl

I go to a technical college for free so long as my grades are good and my performance at my job is satisfactory.

College should be free if you go to a community college, state school, or vocational program. Private universities can charge whatever they want

Fleetwood Crack posted:Strongly agree here, I think every 18 year old should have to do a retail or other service industry job 'tour of duty' for at least two years. Then allow them to go to college free after that. It would go a long way to build solidarity among working people and students. Walmart would love mandatory conscription to minimum wage unskilled menial labour. With such an oversupply of workers walmart could probably even classify them as college-initiates or something and therefore minimum wage does not apply to them since they aren't really employees.
