If more students approached school like a business investment, where the goal is to cut costs as much as one possibly could. You would then see more people go to community college for general hours and then transfer to a public state school and finish their bachelors degree.
My 50,000 foot view of the problem is that it is far to easy to obtain a huge sum of money to go to school for a career with no job prospects. My solution would be to factor in degree and ability to repay, making loans much harder to get.
- mempko 8y agoGetting educated should not be a business decision, because there is a higher purpose to education.
- robdachshund 8y agoAnd that purpose is to get a job = business
- pascalxus 8y agoif you want to get educated, read a book or take some initiative and learn something for yourself: join a book club or take continuing education classes. The purpose of a degree is just to make it easier for highering managers and HR to sort through the thousands of applicants. For the person getting a degree, the purpose is to get a good job and earn more money, so yes, it should be evaluated just like a business decision.
- Eire_Banshee 8y agoYeah... but make no mistake, people go to make money, not for some kind of 'higher purpose'.
