Public Service/Delayed College Entry Program

Paper Summary:

This paper provides an analysis of a hypothetical new law that would fund, but delay, college education after public service and other work experience is completed. The paper discusses the advantages and disadvantages of such a law.

From the Paper:

"In thinking about the proposed program, I see a number of major advantages or benefits. The first thing that comes to mind is that studies have shown that older students would be more mature and therefore more diligent students. Older students would be more ready to make a wise choice of college major after real world work experience and public service. Benefits to society would accrue from the mandatory requirement for public service as non-profit agencies and charitable programs would be granted additional resources. These students would be better citizens and better people and more likely to continue to make contributions such as volunteer work and donations following a stint of required public service."
