I'm not defending Big Academia. They're worse than the trial lawyers.

I'm pointing out that parents and students are caught in a changing paradigm, where they cannot provide for their children what their parents provided for themselves...and end up falling for the trap that the despicable University crooks have set, along with the government. This is distressing.

Why can't the middle class afford to send their own kids to college, the way they went themselves? It's not like the education has improved along with the higher costs. I know why, of course (rhetorical question)--it's because a bunch of ne'er do wells have glommed on to the "academic life" of no work and lots of leisure and huge benefits...

I despise these slacker, thieving PhDs.

It is simple cost-benefit analysis.

If you're expected salary will not allow you to pay off your student loans, ever, then you cannot afford a college education.

Besides which, most college degrees nowadays are garbage.

If you're not majoring in a hard science of engineering, you're majoring in BS and would be better off getting a job.

You do realize that Bill Gates does not have a college degree?
