It's what they take in college that counts, not that they simply went to college. The tuition is only part of the equation. Drive and ambition is another. I highly suspect that the number of employable, high-income college graduates will barely increase with zero tuition, but the number of liberal arts, professional students will skyrocket.
This has "law of unintended consequences" written all over it.
