You’re still buying into the myth/propaganda that higher education is only good because it makes someone more employable by providing skills (and/or connections) important for job-seeking. Wouldn’t you much rather create and live in a world where higher education was free or nearly free, so that your neighbors, fuck it, even those you will never bump into, those on the other side of the country are better educated, better able to reason about the world, more likely to understand evolution and spot marketing and persuasion techniques around them, less likely to believe the blowhard on the radio who is promoting conspiracy theories, and more likely to have gone through a period of rapid personal growth during which they met and grew with people from diverse backgrounds? … without obligating these strangers to a lifetime of bondage to a particular high-paying career?
