For people who for certain want to be Doctors, Lawyers, etc. can go studty early because of how many years are involed. But most other people should think about what calls to them, and possibly take 1-2 years off after High School to truly ponder what to study.
In additon, there are a lot of(most) High Schools that simply do not prepare kids for College life and what will be expected of them. The American System could learn alot for some of the Asian and European Education systems.
On the flipside some of those Asian systems (and specifically all the extra work they do outside of school) could learn some things from the American educational system too.
Not saying ours is great but there are faults with pretty much every educational system created to date; I don't know enough about some of the European ones specifically Scandinavian which seem to rank highly to opine.
The "affordable" health care act took student loans from the free market and made the all government. Most were always government backed, but underwriting standards were abolished. It was free money for all students to use on whatever they wanted.
Another benefit, tuition skyrocketed. A great benefit to the supporters of the "afforable" health care act.
