[QUOTE="RastaLulz, post: 51867, member: 1"] There's no such thing as "free". I'd assume what you are referring to is having the public pay for everyone's school expenses via taxes, which I'd strongly oppose. If you want to learn something, then you should look at the risks and rewards of learning in that field. If you think that it would be a cost effective move, and that you will be able to pay off those debts easily by studying that subject, by getting a job in that field later on, then by all means you should go for it. For example, studying to be a doctor may cost a lot, but once you are done studying, you will more than likely receive a higher salary, allowing you to pay for the education costs. Also, if you did well in school, and show that this is something you really want to do, then you should not have trouble getting a loan as well. But if there's a high risk studying something, then no, you should not do it, and the public should not be there to pay for it. For example, if you'd like to study to be a construction worker, but you know that there is no demand for those jobs at the moment, it probably wouldn't be the best route to go.
