As with other industries, there is a steady increase in demand but not enough supply. Make it easier for accredited universities to be setup and let the free market forces drive the cost of an undergraduate degree down.
- firejake308 2y agoI actually think we should be decreasing demand rather than increasing supply. Not every job needs a college degree, and allowing more people to avoid college altogether would naturally drive prices down from the demand side. The hard part is that I don't know how to make employers accept non-degreed applicants, outside of having Peter Thiel shout at them to do so.
- huuhee3 2y agoI agree. At least in my country degrees are commonly used to filter applicants for jobs that could easily be done by someone with way lower level of education. That's not a healthy system. A degree should teach you skills that you need and can actually utilize in the work you will do.
