Student loan debt is the worst because of not being able to discharge it in BK. That rule needs to change yesterday. The colleges should WANT the rule to be changed. Enrollment is going to start dropping as kids realize it's generally useless.
The only real reason for college is STEM and medical fields. Everything else should be trade school style or community college courses. My doctor likely is smart. Did he need to take English or History in college? Or some other stupid class? No. They can read about it in their free time if interested. My free time in college I studied on my own for real estate. Then running a RE business. I did a basic class over the summer to get hours, but I was half awake. Got me 15 years of solid pay even in the downturn for my age.
When you select a major, only classes related to that major should be taken. And it should only take two years. The next two years for a "masters" type path and then you get your certification. Like a PE for engineers. You still do 4 years, but it ONLY is courses that align with your field of work.
Universities still get their 4 years. Anyone wanting to go for a Phd will be massively more educated. So if they don't go into the field they learned, they can teach the next level as a job resulting in better engineers or doctors being trained since it was the only thing they did. Somehow the hillbillies wrenching on cars figured this out decades ago with trade schools and come out making $80/hr.

There is an enemy, who does deserve our hate, Satan. And if you don't believe in him, then deep state/banking cabal/government. They can be hated. But not your fellow human beings, whether they are brown, black, white, Muslim, Jewish, Democrat, Republican, doesn't matter. They are the only side you have, because without a united citizenry, we're all fucked.
I'll try to be less hateful in my comments when I disagree with you. If not, feel free to call me on it. I don't mind being wrong. I do mind being blind...
And yes, if you insert your name in the OP title, I have directly insulted you. Project and send my post to moderation ;)
