In Ireland we used to have free fees. And even now it is still vastly below fees in the US. It worked out really well to us. In fact I worry about what a mess this country would be if we had high fees. Virtually every major industry in the country collapsed 7&#x2F;8 years ago and we stayed afloat because of the (relatively) massive high tech industry and disproportionately well educated workforce. I can only think of 5 people from my school that didn&#x27;t go to college. It has become like a cultural right of passage.<p>But yeah free&#x2F;very low fees were the best thing that ever happened this country in my opinion.
