    College is still a better bet for most people than not going to college. But it’s becoming a more risky bet over time, and it’s a bet where if you lose you are financially ruined forever. There’s no reason any of that has to be the case.pic.twitter.com/NTbIe51ipn

        Thanks to the forced subsidies and divorce of higher education and the broader job market, this was an inevitable outcome. End school debt subsidies and prices will plummet, alternative market will explode, bad universities will close, worthless degrees will vanish.

        One of the things that really strikes me is how little we do in terms of peer teaching. I’ve learned more in a few one on one sessions with an SME than entire semesters of a course. Skills+knowledge that improved my ability to work smarter and weren’t taught in pricey classes.

        I could teach someone how to do what I do in 6 months for very little money, but the prestige of a diploma and alumni affiliation outweigh substance in too many people’s minds. I see people who are in so much debt, but who’ve had to be totally retrained and it’s not fair to them.

        Does this control by major? Going to the university to study engineering is not the same than going to get a degree in gender theory.

        Likewise studies always avoid breaking down by school. (sample size is a challenge, but...)

        To me the problem started when people stopped going to college to learn about a specific subject & started going because they needed it to make $. It got associated with being able to earn a decent wage.That's when college became more of a business. Perhaps not the greatest thing
