Unless you study engineering, pre-med, math or sciences college is not really worth it. These are non PC majors and you actually use what you learn in your career. Most profs in these areas are non political.
I believe that the areas of study originally intended for the land grant colleges is, with rare exceptions, what schools should be teaching:
Engineering, animal science, agronomy, hard sciences, military science.
The hard fact is that the US economy needs exactly zero “english” or “history” majors. We need less than zero “womyn’s studies” or “critical literature” graduates.
We could add two years onto most high school programs and teach everything about business that anyone would need to know and turn them loose into industry, where industry would have to put some specific knowledge into their heads... and the kids would be able to start life without a crushing debt load.

BINGO!
I read the first threads - about 25 or so, and you hit the nail on the head. I might add economics to the list of sensible courses, but that one is subject to PC profs too, although at least that topic has diversity of thought yet.
