Really, I am arguing for a tax credit for people who take a minimum course load. I can only see good thing coming out of a more educated society.
This is already in most community colleges.

People should be able to choose if they want their formal education to end, which they can already.

  • 12.04.2012 12:25 PM PDT

We already have colleges Charlie, if people actually want to learn they will find a way in.

But offering people money just to attend these seminars is a bad idea for multiple reasons.
1, They will just go for money's sake and won't bother actually paying attention in most cases (prediction)
2, These seminars will cost a lot of money, so considering that we are already losing money by setting up unnecessarily useless seminars we are also paying for people to attend and run it.
3, People will not be able to choose what they want to learn unless these seminars are on a very large scale in which case it will be an even bigger drain on the economy with little to no return
Learning is already freely available on the internet for all to access and although providing it in real life may be better it costs too much in comparison.

Studies show that men think about sex every 7 seconds. I do my best to eat hotdogs in under 6, just so things don't get weird.

I don't think they're paying you to go, you just pay less, which would be enough incentive for a lot of people to return to college

Its prevalent in most careers, in mine i have to take a certain amount of credit hours a year to maintain my accreditation, and not take more tests.

Will some basket weaving courses be taken? Sure. And there would be some taking advantage of the system.

But not everybody acts like an adolescent. In fact, most people would be adults about it, and actually be civil, if not apply themselves.

You have too much faith in the public in my opinion.

In your post.

You said that people should be able to choose, implying that my idea would remove choice. Making it compulsory.

I never said that you had to do, just that you would be incentivized to do it. You can always say no.

If it's not compulsory, it's not any different than what we already have. Therfore, this thread is pointless.

Bones of my enemies.

Because the educational system is flawed and it's more like torture.


We should just scrap the educational system all together.

I was stating what I believe should be the case in terms of continuing one's education, and also that the system in place already meets my beliefs.

Also, you want the payment for these programs to be compulsory, which I totally disagree with.

No, I want it to be made financially attractive.

One class free per semester and and a hefty tax credit for doing it.

One doesn't necessarily need to take studious classes to educate their self.

Not a bad idea. Give a small tax incentive for attending, and improve it for every grade level c or above.

Free classes? What an excellent waste of tax dollars. And along with a tax credit you're getting a smaller return while spending more money.

So, why is it a waste?

I think there comes a point where if you need to go to school to keep on learning new things, you're doing it wrong.
I suppose this is where I draw the line, but there is a difference between both want and need.

I wish to continue my studies even after finding a permanent occupation, because I have a lust for knowledge. Take it how you will, but I do need it. Some driving force inside of myself demands it.

Because you're investing in education blindly with no regard for how much financial sense it makes which results in the already horrible situation we are currently in with ballooning tuition costs.

Well, the control would be in what classes were offered. Also, allow for progression to more difficult subjects. So, if you wanted to retrain for a promotion at work, that path was open to you.

How about instead of making the taxpayer responsible for this, the person can just take out loans that banks make based on the person and their chosen path. So someone training to be an engineer with a job already lined up would get a better loan than someone who wants to receive an education in art history with no job lined up.
