Make it UBI for every citizen regardless of age. Parents would have guardianship of their kids funds, for expenses, schooling, allowances, etc. Good pronatalist incentive.

Despite the fact that I'd benefit from this and pay off my little college debt, and still get a job, I feel like I'd be in the minority there. tbh I'd rather just more financial help for High School age kids or for college and trade school.

You might be surprised at the depth of thought that has gone into this concept. Thomas Payne, Milton Friedman, Martin Luther King, and Elon Musk have all supported this.

Why not throw a degree in for free, make both money and degrees worthless in one fell swoop?
