Good news is and many in the academic sphere may not realize this - many faculties universities are going to go out of business at this rate. One silver lining during this time has been, many have realized how much they are overpaying for things they can learn online or through their own efforts. There is no reason you need to spend 200k+ for a degree in Sociology and Gender Studies.
Other than medicine, law a few science majors I don’t foresee much of the faculties in universities survive assuming the cooler heads prevail, and parents and society realize sending your kids on their way to mortgage their entire twenties for a piece of paper that can be learned through community college and online studies is worthless.

- hereme888 5y agoExactly my thoughts. They're inefficient, overpriced, and outdated models. From what I've seen first-hand, homeschooling or similar schooling methods, in community efforts (not home schooling in isolation), is much more efficient and healthy.
- hereme888 5y agoEven medicine is an inefficient system of schooling in the US (and very hypocritical if you consider what med students and residents go through and its impact on their health). It can be redone to be cheaper, quicker, and safer, with less burnout rates.
