Is college for 'betterment' or 'your interest', about getting a job. I'm not against the first two, but as a member of society I'm only interested in the last one, and I don't think I should be asked to subsidize your hobbies. If you can't get a better job because of education then I want nothing to do with it.
Betterment means all of these. What it means to you means what you think is better. Anyway, why should a hobbiest be asked to subsidize your career progression?
Great question. If someone gets a good job they won't be jealous of me. Most violent crime is by poor people, so I have an interest in there being no poor people.
(I'm also interested in improving science)
