8. A free college education...
should be offered as a reward for voluntary service. Service should not be a requirement for a college education.

That way, those that can pay for it, can pay for it. Those that can't still have an option. That way by the time you are 30, you will be on equal educational footing with everyone else.

And as for those rich kids who spend their entire lives living off of their inheritance, I've known enough of these people to know not to envy them, if anything I pity them for all the experiences they will never have and all the things they will never learn to appreciate.
