for a chosen few from the lower orders.

Anyone who can't make the grade will have to pay through the nose to go to college -- including trade school and CC.

Privatized colleges will be divided into market niches, by degrees/certificates and by cost. The better/more valuable the credential, the more you'll have to pay.

People don't get it. They think these people are just tinkering around the edges and their world will stay in place. No, it won't.
