Higher Education ought to be private and indiviuals ought to pay for it themselves.

1)Free education is not the solution to more experts. This much is evident. In fact, since free education makes it difficult for one to have a ‘second chance' it could cause just as much as a problem. Also not the argument of education as an investment and capitalism is a self-regulatory market, so even if there is a shortage of experts, increasing the salary of these experts or finding alternative ways to find experts will work itself out better than a free education. 2) The market is self-regulatory. It follows basic supply and demand. If one wants a higher paying job, he or she can invest in an education. While some forms of labor are "overpriced" and some forms of labor are "underpriced" people will switch fields or decide that a degree in a certain field is not worth the salary and decide not to pursuit it. Some people might decide not even to pursuit a degree. Eventually people will make choices not only by salary but by ‘easiness of field', benefits and job satisfaction and the market will work itself out. This is known as the "efficient market hypothesis". . http://en.wikipedia.org... For example, I like chemistry, but I am getting a degree in Chemical Engineering over chemistry. Why? Chemical engineers make more money than chemistry majors and also need less years of schooling. 3)If your years in higher education cannot be paid off by a lifetime of work (Which one can get a higher paying job or find a job), then obviously one should not bother with higher education and higher education is not helpful to the economy in the first place. Also one can find cheaper alternatives, like online education. 4)In the United States, one finds investors or banks to loan money to start up a company. The system works fine. 5)Sorry, but I do not believe I made it very clear what I meant by good: a. Good – something that can be bought or sold that has a value. For example, food is a good. The slogan "Education is not for sale! Knowledge is not a commodity! " is just that, a slogan. It has no reasoning behind it. It's just an appeal to emotion argument. Of course education has a cost. Teachers, school supplies, and administrative have costs. Of course Education has a value. Why has something that does not have a value? Also, knowledge is actually quite readily available. It's called the internet and libraries. I can go onto Wikipedia and Google and find almost all information I want. I can even find more information at the library. 6) People will find ways to work around these ‘ever study'. Every system that can be corrupted will be corrupted. Those students that are there not to learn will just try to do the bare minimum to stay in higher education. Also, you also run the risk of trying to figure out how strict these regulations should be. What is permissible to be considered expelled? What's an appropriate punishment for the act? If one for some reason does badly for a semester or makes a mistake, should you expel him or her forever? How do we determine if someone deserves a ‘second chance'? If someone makes a mistake, he or she will no longer be able to get into higher education again, causing a major problem for that person. However, if we do give the person a second chance, people will take advantage of this system. Having students pay for education is the best method to solve this dilemma. Students will be able to have a second chance if they make a mistake or fail but at the same time take their second chance more seriously since he or she will have to pay for education. Furthermore, by setting behavioral regulations on education you increase the cost of enforcing these regulations. The more money education costs, the worst society is off. Conclusion: Privatization and individuals paying for education is the free market at work. The free market has been very effective in regulating itself. I have given many examples of how this system is effective in education as well. Education is available to everyone, contrary to CON. It's just that one has to go to the banks, charities or other financial markets to pay for one's education. Businesses run on the same principle and it works out fine for them. One might not be able to pay for the best school in the world, however the best school in the world, however the best school in the world cannot be provided by the public sector anyhow. Someone is always paying for the education anyways, so education is never free. The fact is, education IS for sale, since someone is PAYING for it. Education is not a commodity, since there are many different types of education. However it is a "good" since it does provide utility and costs money to produce. Allowing free higher education is a form of socialism. Socialism has been proven throughout history to be a failure. The resolution is affirmed.
