That's what I think, Hari, and the fact that many people don't belong in
college regardless of their family income. As the US was exporting entire
industries to countries where workers lived in crates and dormitories rather
than ranch houses, many US educators advocated that the masses need to get
college degrees in order to compete - on an international scale. So I have
been hearing that college is essential for decades. I know one daughter of PMC
parents who was prodded through five years of university and graduated only to
go into the building trades a few years later. We lack trade schools because
so much emphasis has been placed on higher education. As the article noted,
higher ed in the US has been captured by the financial industry; we have a
generation of financial serfs in the US paying off five-digit and even
six-digit college loans.
thanks, Mark
