-Less people going to college who can't cut it (so less debt)
-More people looking into trade options
-More people involved in their communities
-Exposure to new cultures (he said kids in urban areas would go to rural areas and vice versa)
-Service opportunities in health care and aging services would hopefully drive those costs down for those who use them

Agreed. We have to do what we can to get over the mentality of you must have a college degree to excel. I can see it in STEM fields and in education (to a point). I've tried to guide both of my boys into the healthcare field. My sister is an RN and Director of Training at a medical facility and has never incurred a school debt in her life. Of course she had to start out emptying bed pans, move from facility to facility to take advantage of the paid training/education, and had to give back in commitment to the company that paid her way.    

I like Mayor Pete hope he can gain some momentum and isn't overshadowed by those making (IMO) ridiculous promises.
