It’’s not just the useless degrees. It is the huge increase in administrative costs at many higher institutions of learning.

Just the cost of books for a semester can be well above $1000 if you take a full load of classes. The required books are unique to each school and class. It’s absolutely disgusting.

All funded by taxpayers as well.

It’s why as well most of the lowest tuition colleges are in deep red states even though they provide the least funding per capita to colleges. They don’t take it out on students, but rather on administration and frills.
