Most of Europe. Look at skandinavia und you will get payed by the state for educating yourself because citizen with a high education are valuable for them.
-
Wait. Teachers and professors in most of Europe don’t get paid? They volunteer their time? Same with administrators and everyone else working in education?
-
(example numbers) 1) You earn 100k€ and pay 20% taxes afterwards 2) 60k€ & 10% taxes 3) You are in a dire situation and without a job: You pay nothing The more fortunate the more you can give and paying a bit more is not that bad because most things are that "free"

Where in Europe has free university tuition and 20% taxes?
-
Switzerland? Not entirely free but ridiculously cheap (around $500 per semester).
-
Switzerland has a 40% income tax rate. The point was if your tuition rate is subsidized by government you still pay for it.
-
Switzerland doesn’t have 40% tax, tax rate cannot go higher than 40%. I lived in Switzerland for many years only paid ~21%.
-
OTOH, if you think paying $1000 to a world class university per year is less of a deal than paying money to a VC-backed school, good luck.

The education is free to you if you can move to the US afterwards and not pay European taxes... but the US is helping the Europeans out with its restrictive H-1B lottery that gives the same chance to someone applying for a 60k outsourcing gig in Texas as for a 200k SWE job in SF.
