I agree that no one should be forced to do community service... that's too much like a prison sentence. But with the proper incentives I think a lot of people would see that volunteering is not horrible and they would not only give back to the community but learn a lot from it. Maybe I'm a little partial because I'm a big Obama supporter, but I love that he's creating opportunities to make college cheaper. When I go back to school I'll take every penny I can get :-) I read your post on the 20sb forum and that’s how I got over here!
