I think some people go to college when they should not. I think there should be funding for vocational education for those who are capable of holding skilled jobs and do not want to be ripped off by for profit vocational centers. I think having the government pay for college doesn't address why college costs so much.
Funding community college is one thing. If you can succeed there, you can get a lot financial assistance for a 4 year college. I think giving assistance to those who get specific degrees and maintain certain grades is a better idea.
I'm also a fan of revamping education overall. Not everyone needs an academic degree. They are needed byt some, but most people would to better with a professional degree or a trade school or something. The mentality that everyone needs to go to college is something we need to rid ourselves of and that has to start much earlier.
