I have absolutely no sympathy for people (canadians) complaining post-secondary tuition is too expensive.
I have been a post secondary student for a total of five years, and have no debt, what so ever, rather, I have money in the bank, and continue to save money every year. I've worked my way through as a reservist, an opportunity available to almost all Canadian citizens.
If thats not your cup of tea, I'm currently a student at a technical college, approx 1/3 of my class is being funded as EI recepients, meaning that EI is paying for 90% of everything (Tuition, books, etc) and allowing them to continue to receive EI benefits while they attend post-secondary... that's 90% of a 3 year diploma paid for... several of these folks started at age 18... worked for a year out of highschool, long enough to receive EI benefits, and then went back to school with full funding...
There are also all sorts of scholarships available, though a great many go unawarded every year, either due to a lack of unqualified applicants or (surprisingly) a lack of applicants period.
So while education is important, and I have no problem with some government subsidies, I have very little sympathy for those demanding education to be handed to them... it's already there, it only takes a bit of effort...
