Although definitely not the case for all such individuals, there's a significant chance that there are quite a large number of garbage men out there who would, in fact, make perfectly capable neurosurgeons, but will never get the opportunity to find out because our profit-driven education system keeps such doors closed for far too many people.
So, my unconventional opinion is that college tuition needs to be a thing of the past. Advanced learning should not be available only to those who either have money or are willing to risk taking on crushing amounts of debt.
