I’d agree that most colleges aren’t feeling much, as there seems to be a steady supply of naive kids to feed them...but on the edges, people on our side are starting to question things - such as why they should send their kid to a school that costs over $200k, when they’ll only make $50k when they leave...whereas if they send their kid to another (i.e., state) school as a commuter, major in the right field (computer science), they can pay $50k over 4 years and make $200k pretty shortly after college (assuming they work in Silicone Valley). Plus, being a commuter likely insulates them from 75% of the crap that resident students have to now put up with.

As to the NFL...they’re getting walloped...but since they don’t intend to take on these agitators, they’re keeping quiet and hoping it all dies down. Of course it won’t.

A welder or machinist begins at 15.00- 25.00 per hour immediately on leaving a 6 month program, or a tech high school or apprenticeship. Salaries go up towards 45.00 per hour. The tech student will continue to work through those 5 years of college earning income, and people are BEGGING for tech-trained/tech-capable workers such as electricians, pipefitters, welders, plumbers, machinists, millwrights, and steelworkers.

Now, those are NOT air-conditioned computer programmers and phone call salesmen.
