Listen, I'm not for either free college or free trade schools, but if you have one, why not the other?I'd profer that knowing how to weld of do electrical work is better than any liberal arts degree.
We need tougher access to college and it should start with more stringent entrance exams. I would say 50% of 4 year degrees should be dropped back to occupational training (Associate Degree) and leave college for the serious math, science, engineering, etc. students.
Get rid of cheap money for college because it has been one of the reason costs have skyrocketed the past 20 yrs.

College is not vocational school. The problem are people who don't understand that and pursue degrees without job prospects. Still, there are many in the liberal arts sectors who end up with good jobs after a second degree or end up in a wholly unrelated field. Reducing universities to a STEM or bust thing is retarded.
