> That’s a 16-year (or longer) plan that, as Temin compellingly observes, can be easily upended. I personally think the entire college level education system needs a do-over. Stop requiring people to get expensive degrees, when a decently accredited micro degree system would work. Who gives a fuck if you're more well rounded coming out of college when you're in massive student loan debt. You just created a giant glass ceiling that keeps the poor who are trying to break through even poorer. A handful of Ivy League Universities should be for the elites and the rest of us should have the option to bypass this system altogether. I'm one of these FTE's, and I look back at my college degree as 30% worth the time, and 70% a waste of time, and all of that time cost me a lot.
