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.
Then there isn't any incentive. In fact, that's a barrier to entry. It should be for everyone, and there should be an incentive to do it.
Instead of handing out food stamps or money, it is handing out skills and knowledge. Like the old saying, give a man a fish, he will eat for a day; teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime.
The incentive is a higher paying, more desirable job...that's the incentive.BUt that isn't enough sometimes. Your putting a lot on the line for a higher education. Its a big gamble, especially when it costs about 5k a class at most colleges. Thats a lot of money that could be spent elsewhere
Well costs would be decreased if we didn't have student loans flooding the market. And yeah it is a risk and should be a risk. That's the whole basis for a free market.
