See how fun it is when you assume how it is in your country is the same in all the other countries in the world?

So in your country where the government pays the fees (I’m going to assume that is what you mean by “no fees” as I imagine academics are paid in this country), they do so because they care so much about the wellbeing of academia… or do you think the higher income graduates earn plays a role in increased taxation? Or do you live in a country without income tax?

Funny how people want to attack what you say, rather than refute your actual point: Universities (today) are corporate training grounds.
