College is another antiquated system that needs to be burned to the ground by disruptive technology and lime seeded on the earth where it grows.
Most professions used to have ways OUTSIDE of the college track to enter those professions until fairly recently.
There's tons of exceptionally smart people who could study at night and weekends and pass the Bar or the CPA exam but can't afford massive tuition to get the college approved pre-reqs for this.
And there's tons of startups who are frothing at the bit to make amazing online institutions for these people to be successful.
But thanks to regulations, some rich kid whose parents pay the tuition gets that spot because the smart but poor person doesn't have time to attend a 1:00-3:30 class because he has a job.
We complain about the health care lobby, the oil lobby..etc.
In the coming years as the only available jobs will be accessible to people with advanced knowledge and licenses..the higher education lobby is going to be a serious problem.
