Its expensive.

College is a product subsidized by government and predatory lenders. Of course it's value is declining, and it's cost increasing. And the number of worthless degrees has increased exponentially.

That being said, some programs are definitely worth it, but it is usually in the hard sciences, engineering, medicine, etc. And even in those areas, the quality of education in a given specialty varies dramatically based upon the school. Some schools give out degrees that are next to useless, even if it is in a hard science.

For example, you want your doctor to have a degree from a good school, and experience on top of that. Same with a lot of other professions.

But people who take out massive debt for worthless degrees have been suckered. Scammed.

Society is slow to adapt to the more functional education models that employ decentralized solutions toward self guided study, even while homeschoolers' results have exceeded the public option for decades.

Student debt, cynically pushed on millennials, was never intended to be serviceable. It was inteded to grow through capitalization until their middle class boomer parents died. In otherwords, gender studies degrees are a hidden estate tax.

Doctor and Lawyer is still worth going to college for, the rest not so much anymore.

Be careful not to mistake a credentialing system for an education system. Very, very few people go to college for an education. It's the credentials they're after.

I'd like the architects that design my house and high rises to have a formal education (and experience), even if that has proven to be faulty from time to time.

Good. If I had the ability to go back in time and change things I would have never went to college.
