Yes. Well, mummy and dadsy would, anyway, since I'd venture MOST students who pay "out of pocket" without loans (not all, of course, especially those doing two years at CC) are having parents foot the bill.
.
oh please
I attended my CC.fulltime,.. while working fulltime. ....and paying for my apartment..all on my own
why should the government pay for something ABOVE BASIC..a 4yr degree is well above basic...certainly above any blue-collar requirements
WHY? Why do we pay for what you consider "basic" (Elementary through high school?)
Why? Because we have made a value judgment that the entire country benefits when people are educated. Less crime, less ignorance, less poverty. A better educated work force that can meet the challenges of an ever-changing economy, so that we don't have to import people from other lands. Businesses benefit because they have an effective workforce. The economy benefits. Society benefits.
Honestly, why is the "big picture" so hard to see? Just because "the government" is involved does not mean it's bad!

Good for you. You attended your government subsidized community college (offering lower tuition than larger institutions), and took what is generally considered (in the academic world) less rigorous curriculum while working full time.
Community College is not for everyone. Also, not every student can work full time and still succeed academically. Some of us can. Most probably cannot.

so you dont think people should pay their own way???
so you dont think people should learn a work ethic???
so you think that we should just HAND people an education, then watch as they do the very same things that you say giving them this eductaion will elimainte...
