There are several technology companies that offer people free training (education).  They are so confident the training/education will be useful, that they offer it for free.  They assume you will get a job, and if you do, you pay them 10% of your first year salary.

This is an amazing model of what all free market college could be.  Totally free (in a sense).

A heck of alot better than what college costs right now.  And more useful.

zero debt.

That is really just a change from higher education being a marketing ploy.  Colleges are mere hucksters, like self-help gurus, promising a pot of gold at the end of their rainbow.  When someone takes risk and invests in you, you know he is serious.  I would accept nothing less.

It would be a better world if these juicy marks called Highschool Graduates did not come fully subsidized with thousands in loans from the Feds.  Then there would be a whole lot more fellows who go to these institutions in lieu of tradition college thus making humanity all that much better off, especially the students themselves.

Meanwhile, if you want to start your own enterprise, you are out in the cold and have to pay taxes on whatever money you do get to fund it.
