    This is a great idea. How about this: After high school, you do 2 years of civil service. Then you go to college for free. After that, you do 2-4 more years of civil service, depending on how much school you do.

    In the first 2 years, you grow up a bit, experience the real world, and earn a paycheck.

    Next you go to college. Get a good liberal arts core and a major in your area of interest. Then spend a couple of years putting that learning to use and developing your skills.

      Well thought out and makes a ton of sense. It would also instill empathetic patriotism where you love your country because you helped make it.
