People need education. They don't need an expensive social club that happens to teach.
A need would be something more like a community college and less like Harvard. Or maybe if you are going into research, community college + graduate school at university.
And that's a very generous definition of need.
- corin_ 11y agoAt the risk of being a pedant, people don't need education either, it's just a very effective way of improving their quality of life. In particular, further education (after high school) - including community college - definitely isn't needed by any one individual (maybe it's needed by society, but that's different). (Personal experience tells me that champagne improves my quality of life, though I don't have a further education experience to compare it to.)
