I dropped out of college after stumbling my way through several majors and I still consider it to be a formative experience. But I have another problem with this: American primary and secondary education is terrible. College is the first time so many get exposed to things that are critical: the classics, high level math, statistics, etc.
Making college less necessary starts with improving primary and secondary education.

- fallingknife 2y agoYes they teach all that in high school here
- cactacea 2y agoYes
- hijp 2y agoMy friend somehow made it through to senior year without ever taking a math class. To graduate the counselor put them in the cafeteria serving lunch, which somehow counted towards a math credit. Public school in Hawaiʻi man.
- leereeves 2y agoMost Americans don't even take stats or calc in college.
- femiagbabiaka 2y agoIf you go to a quality private school, certainly. In public school? Most don't even get close, and the standards get lower by the year.
