Public school is free, we should make the little shits work 5 years at Tim Hortons?

[–] nyan@lemmy.cafe 4 points 6 months ago (4 children)

Tim Hortons is a private company, isn't a necessity, and doesn't have any shortage of qualified workers. Would you consider it more reasonable if we offered med school students the choice of the currently heavily-subsidized fee structure in return for public service after graduation, or paying the full unsubsidized cost of their educations in return for not doing public service?

Is medical school the only thing that subsidized in Canada?

[–] nyan@lemmy.cafe 6 points 6 months ago

No, and there are extant subsidized programs that require people participating in them to work under certain conditions for a time after graduation. As long as it's disclosed clearly and in advance, I don't see anything wrong with it. So any program imposing public service on medical students after graduation couldn't ethically be applied to those now in school, but could reasonably be imposed on anyone who first enrolls after the condition is set and publicized.
