And the really terrible news is that a vast percentage of those exorbitantly expensive "degrees" are in subjects that are worthless as training for working in a productive, capitalist society...
Of course, that is not news; we "hard scientists" who struggled with time-devouring lab sciences and rigorous math courses have long been disdainful of folks who coast through majors in "social basket weaving" subjects.
Many "women's studies", etc. majors fit their victims only for leftist government jobs -- or worse, the incestuous ("never held a real, productive job in their entire life") positions that increasingly infest academia.
No wonder the Far Easterners are kicking our economic butts!!!
