Dear Mr. Stupid.
The simple solution to the problem is to get government “free money” and “bennies” out of the Colleges of our country.
When the students have to pay for their college (like back in the old days) the amazing fact would be that the price of college would revert to “supply and demand” and the old business saying “what the market will bear.”
Suddenly, the cost of college would almost have a free-fall to justifiable costs.
The second thing is that not everyone has to go to college. A good technical education in many cases is far better since the demand for skilled trades is far more reliable than the market for heavy thinkers and pencil pushers.
FYI. Mr. Stupid does not refer to you....it refers to the man writing the letter in the article.
In the good old days, only the rich went to college, then the WW2 Vets got to go and that changed everything. Then the Universities got to figuring out how they could again make awesome money by getting the Government involved and here we are with 4 year degrees taking 5 years and costing huge amounts of money and not teaching graduates decent skills.
I agree you don’t need College for everything. You know what, I think its a form of daycare for lots of Parents.
I’d like to see a cap of 4 years for a B.S. for one.
