Would you still think of college without getting a job as a failure if it was free?
-
Depends. But even if it were still valuable today, removing the only other thing a univ is accountable for (tuition) just makes them that much less likely to remain useful for anything over time. OPM is rarely ever spent well, esp over the long term.

Someone else pointed out there’s more to college than education: networking, making friends, sometimes finding spouses. Is the bad taste because we need to pay for it? If everything was the same, only tuition was free, would it be it still be a failure without a job after?
-
I never said it is a failure. I’m saying the Man reason most people go (job) isn’t something colleges aim for or measure, which creates suboptimal outcomes

Nonprofits could teach prostitutes how to get folks to fork over money for good feelings. They take in just under $2 trillion in annual revenue.

I have raised money for non profits. We raised $6.7m in cash and in kind services for our first student satellite. Focus on intangible benefits.

College is a four year networking seminar. You might meet your spouse there or at least some sexual partners, (1/2)

Not at all. Read Newman's classic The Idea of the University to see how it's measured & why it's goal much more important than job training

(2/2) make some lifelong friends, and get an education that helps you think critically about things and hopefully one that questions your biases. But they’re woefully inept at helping anyone get a job unless you have networked right.
