I think you are all missing my point, I am not suggesting the purpose of free education is to precisely fill job vacancies 4 or 6 years later, the idea is that funding all post secondary education is expensive and mostly benefits the middle and upper class at the expense of the working class who for various reasons are never going to go to college, its not much different than giving home owners tax deductions on mortgages.

All post secondary education doesnt benefit society and I dont want my taxes to pay for some middle class kid to piss away 4 years on a degree in socials in order to get a job that 20 years ago he could have got with grade 12, the point of limiting free tuition to subjects both vocational and academic is to ensure that working class kids get their education at trade school paid for, which is far more useful to Canada than University degrees, and limit what we are asking the taxpayer to fully fund to courses that are of some use to the country at least.

This would force the Universities to scale back in may areas and drastically reduce the cost and flexibility of degrees that are of little vocational use,, thus enabling an older student group to pursue say Art History in their 40's cheaply over 10 years for their own interest.

We need to reduce the number of kids that go to Uni frankly back down to 20% so that employers no longer ask for bull#### degrees for jobs that dont need them.

The real issue isnt the cost of a degree, its that we are demanding everyone have a degree for all and every job, this turning todays BA into a new form of really expensive Grade 12, University always used to be expensive but at least 50 years ago so few people went to Uni they all got well paying jobs that covered their loss of earnings at the end because their BA indicated they were in the top 10 or 15%, now you need a Masters or Phd to show that.
