College is a net detriment to society. The business model of colleges is 'lie to young people and then saddle them with thousands of dollars in crushing debt for questionably valuable degrees'.
The growth in the cost of college hasn't improved standards, but rather it served to fatten administration departments at colleges.
Additionally, quality is dropping severely. I've seen it first hand. I can't count on two hands the amount of new grads from "quality" schools with their shiny CS degrees who cannot write code. Not leetcode, just any code. They can't solve business problems at all. It's like they learned to pass tests. That's CS, which still has some value. What about useless degrees like Political Science or Gender Studies? Those are outright scams given the results. The victims are young people.
