ALL kids in Tennessee can now attend any two year trade school upon graduation from a state high school. Adults can, as well, based on certain additional requirements (that really are easy after you've lived in-state).


California’s junior colleges are super cost effective as well.


And Tennessee has no state income tax.


We've had the HOPE scholarship[1] for a very long time now too. Funded by the state lottery.

The taxpayers must pay for it somehow. Income tax at least equalizes the sacrifice each taxpayer makes (to some degree). How do TN taxpayers pay for it?


There's no personal income tax in Tennessee.

I suspect that it is cost-beneficial (where-ever the funding source) to have a technical/trade -educated workforce. "Rising waters lift all ships."
