@lain I'm sorry, but that's a completely different thing.
I don't think anyone is saying everyone should be *pushed* to higher education. Don't want? That's fine.
Instead, what at least I am saying, is: if they want to, they should have to take a crippling debt on to do so, even if we're talking philosophy, japanese studies or art.
It's like with science funding: you *never* know which path leads to a great discovery. So don't limit the paths people can take.
