And my point is that I am far from a minority, the opportunity for education is virtually guaranteed, and as long as you are doing OK in school and don't get into too much trouble with cops then the only thing that would bar someone from service is physical/mental handicaps or problems.
The rest, things you bring up like having to leave school to support family. These are not problems systemic to the system or government policy, these are most often the result of people's very poor life decisions. If someone is put into this situation it's usually because a parent put them there.
Are there exceptions, yes there are. A father killed in a traffic accident could cause a real issue. I am sure there are others. I have no lack of feeling for people who must deal with such hardship. But in the past family normally helped with such issues and even if they still do, their ability to do so effectively is hindered by how many simply are not able to.
But the real causes of these problems are social, not political. The come from ideas about marriage, drugs, and yes, the welfare safety net has a play in it to. Add to this a lack of personal responsibility, entitlement, a nation infected with lawyers suing anyone you can at any chance as if it's the lottery. Discipline at home and in the School, the list get's quite long.
Still, the biggest single factor is about the choices people make. Life is hard, but it's harder if your stupid.
Your entire viewpoint is bogus. Im sorry but education is ANYTHING BUT GUARANTEED. Local tuitions are not cheap, at ANY University, unless your talking trade colleges and even then, it IS NOT CHEAP. You have a seriously narrow minded view of the world
