Normally, I don't care for Carolla but he's spot on this. Brick and mortar colleges are like the sprig of parsley on a dinner plate. A very expensive four year fire festival.

Marxist indoctrination centers, there is very little actual education happening there.

I’ve always been kind of mixed on Adam but I usually agree with him.

I like Carolla. He had a good rant on envy and working hard around 6 years ago.
Unless you want to be a doctor, lawyer, scientist, or engineer, you should get OJT or Tech training.

The American education system is flawed and no more than indoctrination. Even with degrees that are marketable,these colleges produce totally inadequate graduates.

BTW,The Man Show was the best. My real college was the Army and we loved watching the trampoline girls as we raised a beer along with Adam Carolla. Some may know my reference.

A lot of people bash college today.

How many of you want your Doctor to get his degree from an on-line program?

Do you want to drive on bridges built by engineers who only graduated high school?

How about when you need a lawyer? Maybe you want your lawyer to learn from a correspondence course.

People are beng asinine throwing the baby out with the bath water when they spew ignorant tripe and say college doesn’t make sense. It doesn’t make sense to spend $25,000/year to take women’s studies, Mass Communications, or basket weaving. Science, technology, math, engineering, medical, law — you damn well better have a good college education for those.

But all people can do today is bash college, as if it has NO value.

Smart people can be so stupid sometimes.

College might make sense for some. But in today’s world everyone thinks it’s appropriate for all, even the diversity introspection courses and basket weaving - ridiculous.

This college scam survives basically for one reason:

They have managed to propagandize the vast majority of employers to set a Bachelors Degree as the minimum entry bar for most jobs.

Make that go away and tuitions will start dropping like a rock.
