Education is the Key, Free Education thru age 21!

How many studies do we have to see to understand the benefits of post secondary education. Higher incomes, greater technological advancements, lower birth rates, higher standard of living, lower smoking rates, better physical fitness, lower teenage pregnancies, more individual businesses, more job opportunities, this list goes on and on.

We should develop a government / business structure that allows every person to have a 4 year college degree or trade school or apprentice program be available at no cost to the student. Advanced degrees helpful to medical advances and care should be paid for as well. The current excessive costs of this education is a negative incentive to achieve all of the named benefits. Frankly, this is a no-brainer.

Education needs to be life focused. Millions of kids graduate high school with classes in algebra, but have no idea how to balance their check, check their bank balance online or how to apply for a mortgage. Again, this is a no brainer.
