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.
Now they get the money from foreign students paying full freight and using TAs who can barely speak English to teach classes.
It’s the “big education” cycle, dear to the hearts of Democrats:
1) make massive borrowed funds available to students
2) increase school tuition to absorb funding
3) schools pay inflated salaries to inflated ranks of profs and admins
4) profs and admins donate heavily to Democrats
and repeat
