People used to pursue higher education for enrichment, and to unlock opportunities they could not yet foresee. Now it’s viewed as some additional hoop to jump through to get a job that doesn’t (typically) require physical labor.
While they’re at it, fire teachers and underpay the ones you have left! You don’t need to learn from quality educators! And the teaching staff will need no support, so we can fire the administrators and facilities teams!
I’m not going to pretend that higher education isn’t a scam for a lot of things but states should fund public institutions better so that tuition doesn’t go up instead of making it harder for schools to afford educating.
Have they tried, I dunno, lowering tuition instead?
Preposterous!
Got to further dumb down the masses while still keeping them in debt so they can’t make informed decisions.
its already lowered. do online college - much faster and its all the same result.
It’s roughly the same education.
But has the stigma of online colleges faded with employers yet?
Employers aren’t hiring new college grads anyway. That’s what AI is for.
Damn, true.
Wait, so why even go to college?
Self-enrichment? In this economy?
