Inflation of university education is already terrible. What used to be a ticket up into middle class and beyond has become a way to get clerical work. Number of graduates across developed world has risen considerably in the past decades, but what kind of benefit it had?
From something special and extraordinary, university education became mundane, expected, requirement. Something you just have to do. Never mind if it's going to give you anything.
In all seriousness. How many graduates do you think society needs? Do we really need people to spend 4 years in school, just so they can sit behind desk and fill forms all day? I'm sorry I don't think we do. And this isn't a take from US btw, this is from Europe.
And yes, I am mostly talking about liberal arts.
At this point, the only thing the system works as is a buffer to keep youth from workforce.
