And people wonder why tuition is so high? This is why liberals want the government to subsidize higher education, why they insist that EVERYONE needs to (and no matter their economic situation, should be able to) go to whatever school they want. Because if they can get the government to force everyone to pay for a college education for everyone's kids, then the professors will be able to continue to make ridiculous salaries for doing essentially NOTHING.
Apologies to the handful of good college professors out there, but a lot of them have a pretty cushy lifestyle, and they don't do sh*t, contribute little if anything to society, and teach their students nothing of real value. And of course, there is never any objective evaluation of their performance, they just keep getting paid lots and lots of money. A college education is quickly becoming one of the most expensive yet useless things you can spend your money on.
" a lot of them have a pretty cushy lifestyle, and they don't do sh*t, contribute little if anything to society, and teach their students nothing of real value " Having just gone back to college for my Masters after 25 years you dont know how true that is. Many if not most of my fellow students ( the kids I mean , in their 20s) dont have a 4th grade level of knowledge of history(for one examole, there are many ) BUT , the have 10 courses in bullshit ethnic studies and pop sociology .It's a joke.
