Public isn’t, and it’s expensive because students can’t go bankrupt so colleges can just keep charging more and more. This is combined with the pressure from media and prior schooling to go to college to get a good paying job, well this is what monopolies look like.

I mainly meant that public schools aren’t supposed to be for profit but that it’s fair game for private ones. Issue is we don’t have a true free market for schools right now.

The shortfall of workers in skilled trades is enormous! I just heard the number last night on the radio and don't remember what it was, but HUGE. For 6 figure jobs, too. This should bust the College monopoly, and have all apprenticeship programs at capacity.

Not really a tough choice: go into debt at $10-20k / year or higher to be unemployable, or earn while you learn with a nice raise after graduating.
