Not everyone is academically suited for it, and there are still opportunity costs of not working full time during college. Many people at the bottom of the ladder are better off getting a marketable skill and joining the work force quicker.
And I am as green as can be but I oppose the Green New Deal. It reads like a bunch of talking points thrown together without regard to feasibility or effectiveness. Truth is, we don't actually have 12 years, we are already effed on climate. We need to include mitigations for what we know is coming 30 years from now. And we need an enforceable world wide treaty with realistic targets.
