It’s no big secret that the cost of attending a four-year college or university in the United States is out of control. It’s almost gravity defying how the cost of college has increased relative to regular inflation over the past twenty years. In fact, more than 500 nonprofit private colleges have shut down in the last decade according to the Wall Street Journal, which was "three times what it was in the decade prior."
The news is about to get worse, and there is a stern warning announcement coming from the pilot in the cockpit. 2025 is going to have a lot of turbulence followed by potentially weekly plane crashes of colleges and universities who can no longer afford to open their doors. This new reality is the ultimate law of supply and demand and families in America are voting with their feet.
Enrollment
Trend experts have new terminology they call the "enrollment cliff." The number of students enrolled in degree-granting colleges and universities fell by 15% from 2010 to 2021 and only 62% of high school seniors in the U.S. immediately go on to college right now.
That’s a stark contrast to almost fifteen years ago when the number was 68% in 2010, according to government data. Many of the students who opt out of a postsecondary education are low-income students, but even those with means are beginning to choose alternatives. We’ve also seen a spike in the competition for state colleges and universities where parents can enjoy in-state tuition and other possible grant programs offered for only in-state students.

Trump should take Baron out of school as a message to the rest of them. He can take over the empire when he’s ready. Steve Jobs and Bill Gates didn’t need it.
Er, there are plenty of Community Colleges and State Universities where you can get an education at greatly reduced cost. I got my EE that way. No place I worked cared where you got your degree as long as it was an accredited institution. These school debts are entirely self-inflicted.
“It was interesting to hear her go off on Obama for taking over the student loan programs, which lead to the student loan debt crisis.”
The core issue is telling a HS student with an 91 IQ that they must go to college, and once complete they can be anything they want.
Even though dad has a successful painting business.
It’s one of the biggest lies told by our culture.
And it starts with “mainstreaming” in elementary school.
We need to bring back the A, B and C tracks in elementary school, middle school and high school.
Yes, Virginia, they can be taught!
Huzzah!
The internet has brought that well rounding to the masses. I see a number of trades guys. They listen to podcasts all day and follow up on concepts.
There are people who work at all sorts of levels however I find that skilled tradesmen are well rounded
Clapping enthusiastically and yelling RAH! That’s how it’s done! Good for you!
Talk about well-rounded. Met Joe when he was playing for cancer patients at the hospital. He’s an electrician. Best of the best. Trades people shine!

Congradulations to your son in his new job.
There are U.S.companies who work to hire qualified U.S. citizens at competitive salaries. And there are some U.S. companies who need to hire only U.S. citizens.
It’s Space Force related. US Citizen s a requirement.
It also puts the lie to the misconception that there are only jobs for immigrants
Hang in there Laz, the end is near.

SUNY Chancellor announces new requirements for undergrad curriculum
...These changes include adding a civic discourse component to the general education core competencies and updating the existing information literacy core competency....
Snort.
My advice: Go elsewhere if you have to go.
The world needs ditchdiggers too.
...This important change would help fulfill Chancellor King’s commitment in the 2024 State of the University address that “the mission of public higher education has always been and must always be the preparation of citizens and securing the future health of our democracy.”...
Yup, definitely, go elsewhere.
Plumbers in my neck of the woods make more than the non-STEM PhDs in our family.
Without the college debt.
Most of that happened before Griggs vs. Duke Power Co.
