[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We also have a critical shortage of police officers, teachers and medical professionals.  The current youth is really interested in work life balance and putting their own mask on first—they just are not looking to these careers that require a lot of self sacrifice. The only answers I see are—
1) significantly raise pay
2) offer citizenship in a change for X years of service
3) increase free student loans/tuition programs
4) institute national mandatory service which could be military, teaching, police, medical, or civilian conservation corp.  pick one and give the country at least 2 years of it.  [/quote]

4 all the way!

We need a national service requirement for young people between 18-21. Let them choose military or civilian service. Offer some program to tackle climate change preparedness issues and the like. Defer for college if you want but then immediately serve after undergrad. That would give me hope for the future.[/quote]

Forced labor? We aren't a communist state. Wouldn't this violate the 13th Amendment?[/quote]

Maybe community service, military or civilian, could be a factor in college admissions. And I don't mean taking a year off to tour South America, working for a week at an orphanage, and calling that community service. It has to be something that truly benefits the community as a whole.

Since republicans hate higher education why would they care whether their “community service” factors into their admission? [/quote]

Republicans don't hate higher education. They hate free loading democrats who hand out degrees like candy, lower edicational standards and push grievance studies and recreational degrees as a payoff to tge AFT, NEA and labor unions.[/quote]
