College in the liberal arts these days can be easily replaced with the Internet. Their sole value is providing “credentials” for any employer stupid enough to rely on “credentials”.
As employers slowly wise up the value of these degrees will get lower and lower, while the cost of obtaining them is getting higher and higher.
Colleges are beginning to get that “horse and buggy” feel to them.
Yesterday my malfunctioning air conditioner was repaired by a man whose father told him that “if he learned to do things with his hands he would never go hungry”. He is probably the richest man in the community. He can do anything and is so busy it’s like a gold strike if you can get him. He walked away with $1300 for spending about 2 hours replacing the broken part in the air conditioner. He had a wise father. Atlas Shrugged.
