Education sucks. It's all wrong. It's opposite to reality in almost every way.
1. Who chooses their major at the end?
2. Who waits till next year to graduate just because someone else already did this year?
3. Who learns Law & Politics at a school to become a statesmen?
4. Why does it take my kid twice as long to finish school as it did me?
These and many more questions remain unanswered. However, I believe there is a better way.
1. Education levels are determined by building. Resource professions taught at school. Manufacturer professions taught at college. Artisan professions taught at uni.
2. Major and cost must be chosen/paid at the start of entering education.
3. School profession are free, college minor cost, artisan expensive.
4. After building a school one of two lines of education building must be chosen: civil or military.
5. New education line: military. Military College trains veteran soldiers & seasoned scouts, Military Uni trains GG's (but VERY expensive).
6. IS can enter school and become free colonists after education. So IS becomes free via education.
7. PC cannot enter education buildings. (PC become free colonists over time. IE: serve their sentence).
8. No education cost increase. IE: 0% threshold increase.
9. Free colonist can become specialist if in same job for long time.
