German, the argument presented by your friend seems logical. However, it is made in my opinion the same sense as "grass is greener". Like you said here in America, the fees for a good college run around 1000-5000 dollars per semester. With that said, I know for a fact what you say is true. It honestly feels like education without consequences are only for the rich. While us normal folks have to take on lifetime of debt to get one. I want to go into the field of biology, which I had a natural gifted talent in. However, I cannot afford the immense lifetime of debt. If I had the chance to pay little to nothing to go to school, I would become the best geneticist or virologist there is. I am just afraid of the mountain of debt.
The worse thing is due to corporate control of the American government, profit is the only policy here. That is reflected by the way education done, to create wage slaves basically. That is beside the point, but the effect it has is any attempt to reform education in America is met with “dat is communists….and evillleeeeee and against GAWD!” rhetoric by the conservative masses. It is really a tragedy, I would emigrate to one of the European countries but most of them do not treat American immigrants well.

I would be a televangelist....but I have too much of a soul.
