A useless person for a useless post, whoopee.
Bigbox colleges will be as relevant as the dodo within a decade.
definitely a bubble that needs to burst
The degree is losing its value.
Only in US Federal government (always a decade behind), is it still the end all.
Dropping standards: degrees neither mean a kid can think nor posses any of the skills required.
Worthless degrees/majors: more and more liberal arts degrees that have no practical application anywhere. A degree for the sake of having a degree for an urban yuppie kid that is expected to get a degree but neither has an interest nor any special talent.
Massive supply: near 1/2 of adult Americans have about 2 years of college. 1/3 have a bachelors. ~ 1/7 have a masters. So 1/2 of all Americans have jobs that require academic training? Really? We already have FAR more degrees than there are real positions only we have a mismatch, i.e. not enough people get the real degrees (engineering, medicine...) and a lot get degrees in gender and womyns studies, history (another school teacher), kenesiology...
The trades are no place for degrees: For years colleges and universities have been getting into the business of training people for what are “trades.” Jobs you do with your hands, like a car mechanic, airplane mechanic, nurse, fireman, law enforcement. These are things that require muscle memory, experience, working the job and physically doing it, not learning about it in a class with a textbook. Colleges and universities are actually horrible venues to learn these trades well.
