OF COURSE there is a difference between an honest business transaction and being tricked. Plenty of colleges charge unreasonable sums for useless degrees while promising access to upper echelons of society. Wouldn't you rather take practically useful training while getting paid at least some money, provided you know what it will cost and what are your options to get the fee waived? I am not saying these particular cases were so rosy.

I'm very OK with tax money being used for things like art and music and philosophy. An educated populace helps everyone, even if you don't see the direct results of it. An educated populace is slightly more difficult to dupe, too. I find it offensive that we charge what we do for education, period, and the offer to get some of it paid of by a workplace shouldn't even be something that folks need to do. I do not ever support someone being beholden to a job because of a financial hit that extends beyond the effects of a missing paycheck, be it "good", discounted insurance or a being charged for training at a workplace for whatever reason.
