When baseball players leave high school they can toil in the minors for room and board for 5 years or go to college for 3 and the minors for 2 for the same pittance. The non-player can go to college and work hard for 5 years, amassing debt. The rewards vary for these life choices but the paths are similar. Perhaps the solution to this societal “problem” is the 1% bank withdrawal tax redistributed to all adults [18yrs] at $2400/month for life.
