How would military enlistment numbers be affected if trade school and college were prepaid?

Question by Galacto: How would military enlistment numbers be affected if trade school and college were prepaid?

Knowing many military enlistees join for lack of clear career and educational goals in high school, what if high school career counselors all did their jobs better and post-secondary education was fully funded (disregard how, for now)? How would this affect military enlistment stats?
This question is not about commission candidates or those who'd wanted nothing else but to serve. It's only about the confused or disenfranchised who see no better alternative.

I believe it would still be much the same. People want to be part of something larger than themselves. The military gives them the perfect environment for them to achieve not only personal goals but professional goals too.
