Graduate high school. Get into a trade apprenticeship. Get your licence in that trade. Get a job in that trade. Go to college at nights and on-line.

Now you are a plumber or electrician that has a solid reputation and can run your own business. The college degree is just fluff for the local bankers and country club membership board.

Learn a trade, then take classes in accounting and business administration so you can better run your business when you start your own company. Courses in how to use spreadsheets, and do online marketing would also be useful.

Once you take away the requirement to follow a fixed curriculum in order to get a degree, people can take classes in what they need. This would also result in instructors who can actually teach how to write well being in higher demand than professors who use their class time to promote Marxism.

Take away the value of the piece of paper, and instead only have knowledge have value, and the ideologues will be out of jobs.
