> College should be for becoming educated. Not for getting a job.
That ship has sailed. College is a now a job gate-keeper and are extorting young people for certificates that employers 'require' to hire them.
I'm all for education, and there are indeed jobs for which degrees should be required (engineering, nursing, etc), but many many jobs just require some generic degree in anything. It's a bullshit requirement and the costs are massive and rising and saddle young people with debt some can never get away from.
