Colleges are full of taxpayer funded students who bog the whole system down. They aren’t bad people but they and the nation would be better served in trade schools.
The worst part is the fact that all that taxpayer funding does what taxpayer funding always does. The colleges invent new ways of justifying the funding with worthless courses and professors.
My sister is trying to get some sort of business degree though our local community college. Used to be you paid a couple hundred dollars, took the courses and got the degree. Unfortunately our community college is trying to become another unneeded 4 year school and they’re behaving like one. The first thing she has to do is take an orientation course so she can learn to juggle college and social life. She’s nearly 50 years old and hasn’t had or needed a social life in decades. The orientation course requires several school specific books that will cost hundreds of dollars.

And wait until graduation, and you’ll get such pomp and circumstance you’d think you were at Yale! I think the administrators are really doing it for their own egos.
There is also a trend to remove the “Community” from the name, so it becomes East Podunk College.
