University degrees, in practice, aren't about learning or education. Depending on the person and the university, they are about accreditation (you have more doors open with a bachelor's than you would otherwise, depending on the degree) or they are about connections. Either one can be worth a loan.
But I'm not so sure that making them free accomplishes either one. It's possible that doing so would only push the problem to the master's programs as organizations and candidates look for differentiation.
- cupofcoffee 5y agoThey are about learning and education though. How could they possibly not be. The other things like connections, socialising, getting drunk are just extra bonuses. This idea that universities don't provide any value to society and that they should be replaced by poorly structured YT videos with tons of mistakes in them has to go. Has no basis whatsoever.
- tasogare 5y agoThis comment is very caricatural. I got multiple university degrees from my country where it's almost free and I learned a lot during the bachelor ones. Master not so much by that nice to have too.
