- guywithahat 1y agoI think you messed up your grammar which makes the sentence hard to read but I think what you're getting at is right. College is a service, which is why you pay for it. If it didn't provide value, nobody would use it. Free college is a danger because there's no good way to assess its market value or whether we need it at all. It's only by adding value that we create wealth, and some of these NSF grants are just jobs programs for engineers.

- tristor 1y agoIn some ways, actually yes. College has gotten more expensive over time, partly because demand for college has outweighed the benefits of college on the other side. It is a shift in the education market away from the cost profile being aligned with outputs, to being focused on prestige/experience as the primary selling point. It's also largely related to the glut of paying foreign students nearly outnumbering Americans. Prior to these shifts, college was much much much less expensive.
