Everyone or no one.

Agreed. It should also extend to voc-tech schools continuing ed programs. People who have gotten degrees sometimes find that career isn't working, or has dried up and need to switch gears. Older people looking for a job that will carry them through "retirement" could make themselves more attractive to potential employers by getting a second degree. A more fluid job market and better prepared workers could increase fair wages and better hiring practices.

No, it increases costs for most users. The lowest cost methods would either be tuition free or no financial aid at all.

No.

Increased student count increases operating costs, which increases the cost per student. It's also just fucked that my taxes go to fund other students going to these schools but my children may not be eligible.

Increased demand is part of the reason why college has gotten so expensive.

And if I have children they can go to them.

Limited financial aid makes it hard for many to go to schools and increases the debt many will have to go into. It increases costs, so many in the middle class either need to go into debt or just not go to school.

Increasing cost of education....bad
