Or the worthless degrees they offer?

Four-year degrees should really be limited to:

-engineering
-math
-sciences
-SOME business disciplines (but general business can easily fit in 2 yrs)
-lead-ups to higher degrees (MBA, medicine, masters and doctorates programs in the above areas)

Most other professions, many of them valid, could easily have their educational requirements fit into a 2 year program, but, that wouldn’t line the coffers of universities.

So you think all education should be public? That is what I garner from you comment about how schools should structure their coursework.

Personally I could not care less and I have two kids in college now. And one is getting a five year MFA. She will never move out of the house!!

My point is that it is a free market. I will bet dollars to donuts that in the next few years you will start to see a race to the downside when it comes to college prices.
