Poll: In a dramatic shift, Americans no longer see four-year college degrees as worth the cost

21. There's no free lunch here

Either society pushes nearly everyone to attend college, and therefore a significant number of people to take out unsustainable debt, or fewer people go to college.

I’m kind of amused when people talk about European university costs. Sure it’s much cheaper, but the universities there are open to far fewer people, where they begin choosing a career at a far younger age, and the universities are more selective on average (compared to say most state universities).

Besides, what is the justification for tuition skyrocketing in the first place? Given the revelations about Epstein we’ve got so far, and the capitulation by many elite universities to Trump, my respect for many higher education institutions has drastically plummeted.

Maybe people are figuring out that so much of the marketing by universities is BS, if not an outright scam, by both for profit universities and not for profits alike.
