As costs soar and graduate prospects dim, the value of higher education can no longer be taken for granted

Indeed.

You forgot the part about not doing SAT scores for admissions because you were only letting in blacks and women who couldn't get a good score on the SAT. You also forgot the part where no woman or black could be failed no matter how bad they were because that would be racist and/or sexist.


What nobody wants to admit is that a College Degree doesn't even mean anything anymore.


When it becomes something any dumb asshole who can't read can pass, it has no value. It has no worth.


Other than scamming tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars from naive kids with naive parents and creating an entire class of wage slaves for life.

I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.


Bc you might learn something you can't learn anyplace else?

Like how to be a doctor, or a chemical engineer or something?

You can get "book learning" without college, but just like plumbing or welding there's a lot of technique in certain professions you can only get in labs and with instructed practice.

US the College, State University system worked maybe from late 1940s to mid 1980s it was the envy of the world.

The USA was almost always ahead expect maybe somewhere in Europe Switzerland or Japan that had a local understanding of species a certain skill set or exact specific knowledge
it was cheaper affordable and even during recession the US economy had an upward direction coming
You did business cool, your lectures gave you ideas, international business, computer business, cultural studies overseas trade and spreads and presentations that apply in other parts of the Americas and other cultures, corporate law and other international accounting practices, you got it all and hung around and networked with like minded people
Music, Arts then cool you learned to print, to play an instrument, to read and listen to melody, you got to network with another funny artist or an artist from another family of artists from Eastern Europe, you had so many skilled American artists in your school, your teachers gave you a history of music
Chemistry great, you got its applications in biology, in manufacturing and electronic products, you got to know the biology of the environment and air pollution control and the chemical gizmos and lab experiments and gadgets of the time



problems now
1
your Chatbot is smarter than your teacher
2
University College became political battle sites of indoctrination
3
its too expensive now
4
There is no guarantee of jobs anymore, you pu5t in time but have a worthless degree
5
the rest of the world avoided wars and got smarter...meanwhile Campus is full of graffiti and its political battles between two retard parties the Q-Anon and Antifa...China, Spain etc they dont get overtaken by riots and they have better infrastructure, the latest gizmos and labs

and Six...the Ivy league stuff, the elites they have become worse than the lowest of university and college...biggest old money brained frat bot sisterhood scam of them all
it was a scam since day one, the old elite rooms and dorms and Faculty Academia Functions for old Royal Money?
Half of those places held the traitors, they have the wrong guys when the USA won, the bad guys after the Revolution War or War of Independence.
They were owned on day one, long before Epstein Israeli money or Saudi money got in there.

How many people that go to college become a doctor or chemical engineer or "something"?

Then get the number of total people who go to college and end up with careers that don't benefit at all from that wildly expensive piece of paper.


I think it should be fairly easy to figure out who should and should not be going to college after we have those numbers. Lets figure out projections for how many smart people we need for actual smart people jobs, and then only have that many people admitted to college every year, for EXACTLY THOSE PURPOSES.

SPOILER ALERT: Most people who go into life-long debt for college do not get anything out of it.


While we're at it. No new lawyer degrees for 10 years. I think we can all agree that we have more than enough of those scumbags.


And hey... If you're a fuckin' dummy but you've got rich parents. They can feel more than free to pay FULL TUITION to put your dumb ass in class. We just won't let them write it off as charity, even though it clearly is.



And again, WHEN YOU GIVE AWAY FREE COLLEGE TO MORONS WHO CAN'T READ AND YOU REFUSE TO FAIL THEM BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE A RACISM AND/OR SEXISM, YOU'VE COMPLETELY DEVAULED THE COLLEGE DIPLOMA FOR AN ENTIRE GENERATION.

How can anybody be sure the person they're hiring actually deserved to go to the college in the first place, let alone had what it takes to graduate legitimately? ESPECIALLY if they're a minority or a woman.

Knowing your hx, SIX, your post sounds like sour grapes.

Yes, universities are now operating as money- making diploma mills. Bc just like health care and the military, once government money pours into a sector without competition or oversight, scams inevitably follow. I know that for a fact, having seen letters from hubby's University describing that it needs to make its dorms and courses more attractive to attract more students.

It accelerated during Covid, when many youngsters unwisely decided to sit out the job market with a student loan.

And for the vast majority of ppl who go to college or university (oh BTW there's a difference between university and college) to avoid the job market or take a vacation get a meaningless degree, it's money down a rathole.

But you're forgetting that nearly EVERYONE I worked with for decades in a highly technical agency had science or engineering degrees. And these people were SMART. Scary- smart, some of them. They didn't go to university bc they were too lazy or stupid to do anything else.

I'm not forgetting that there are smart people who should go to college. I've NEVER denied this.

What is the amount of people who come out of college who actually benefit from the degree other than having that piece of paper to help in job interviews?

What is the amount of people who actually benefit any employer with whatever they learned at college?


I don't know the answer to that, but I know it's not close to 50%.




You're goddamned right I've got sour grapes about it all too.

I have NEVER worked a job which would have benefited from a college degree. And that includes the last good job I had which would equate to over $120k per year in 2026. Everything I learned for that job was on the job training, and I didn't need to go to college to learn how to use computers or type over 60wpm.

But from the early 2000s until recently, if you wanted to even apply for a good job and not have your resume immediately thrown in the trash, you had to have that 4 year degree on there.

That meaningless fucking 4 year piece of paper that only proved that you had a lot of partying in your past and a large bill to pay off for the next few decades.


It's great news that we're bypassing kids with college degrees for these jobs over ones with them now, but most of those jobs are going to be replaced with AI soon anyway.


I"m glad that there's a large renaissance in learning trades in America, and that the general consensus is that college is not worth the time or money.

Because we've raised at least 2 generations who hardly know how to wipe their assholes, let alone keep the shit running that better people before them built.

Don't believe me? Just look around you.
