College education is just as often useless as well. All that college education money hasn’t gone to teaching staff or classrooms or lecture halls. It’s going to administrative buildings, sports complexes, and dorms.
The teaching at colleges has stayed largely the same as it ever has been, with few of the professors actually passionate about transferring the knowledge to the next set of students. You only get a great professor every once in a great while, most of the rest are unintelligible or disinterested. I’m not willing to pay 150k to get one great educator maybe.
With Wikipedia, YouTube science communicators, and videos of actually great lecturers across the years, the knowledge portion of college education is covered for free. The other benefit of college is networking with people who might remember you enough to help you get a job in the future. For many it also increases their exposure to different thought, which is valuable in today’s society. I feel like something should replace college on the social aspects too, as it’s a hugely inefficient system for it right now.
