Have you reviewed what societies that don't have these look like?

It probably would reduce crime & incarceration. That’s 4 years an 18-22yo is stuck in the library studying

“better than prison” is a really weird argument for college!

Is it rivalrous? Is it excludable? Sources of value in edu: 1. Academic - non-rival & non-excludable (public) 2. Network - non-rival and excludable (club) 3. Brand - rival and non-excludable (common pool) Do people think they're people buying insurance or entry to a tournament?

Worked out for me. Still remember a lesson from my professor in a course on Chaucer. “Read it like you know how it should sound, nobody knows what it sounded like anyway”...I spent my free time with my computers anyway. As long as you are learning how learn I think you’ll be ok.

And if you ever read anything from me and wonder ”how did this guy get an English degree?” well..my also partner occasionally asks why the guy with the math degree has to proofread my English as well. Glad I came up when my lack of a formal tech degree wasn’t much an impediment.

Would you like the state to support 4-year civil engineering degrees? Computing; medicine?
-
no, though the argument for encouraging such degrees as a ‘public good’ would not be ridiculous
