The entire financial structure of higher education seems like a pyramid scheme.
- beezlebroxxxxxx 4y agoPart of it comes from a job market and hiring practices built around credentialism. When higher education becomes an "essential" stepping stone in ensuring a career, it gets inundated with an almost predatory mindset that cannot conceive of anything but its own necessity and will tirelessly protect that perceived necessity at all costs. Higher education was intended for the creation, protecting, and nurturing, of knowledge and liberal (in the classical sense) humanistic ideals. Nowadays, it's a career engine and often, to put it simply, pay-to-win.
