    'The [college] degree is dead.' Here's an alternative: One year of ‘college’ with no degree, but no debt and a job at the endhttps://on.wsj.com/2IQRrSV

        Traditional 4 year college degree plans are antiquated. Majors (especially in business) should only take 2-2.5 years if you scrap out all the unnecessary courses. Only make gen eds a req if you are undecided. Point of diminishing returns with these degrees

        It's funny these ppl think job skills alone get you hired & not the social network & life skills you build over 4 odd years of college

        the play here isn't some kind of streamlined, affordable trade school, it's making traditional college free

        Maybe the USA should have spent more money on education than doing wars all over the planet.

        Whoever wrote this article missed the point of college. College is not about education. It is about growing up and learning to survive. It’s the bridge to adulthood. You need to give it its due time.

        Wrong. College degree not dead at all. But 35 yrs pushing 4-yr STEM degrees only was mistake. There's more than one path to career and decent life: degree/apprenticeship after 1-2 yrs community/technical college. Myth of one-size-fits-all is what's dead. #HigherEd #GoForIt

        I'm pretty sure the purpose of a college education is more than just training you to work for someone

        The two biggest scams perpetrated on the American people: #1. College educations #2. Home ownership.

        Okay but that is not “college” and especially not “university” in the broadest sense of the word. It does not educate the whole person in many disciplines to be a citizen of the world. What you describe is vocational training - don’t confuse the two.

        depressing and you know exactly where this will lead: drones. people educated to just do the job. people just smart enough to do the job. an employee training program. the guy in the article basically said just that. this isn't education. just fund education already.

        I’m surprised that the term “income share agreement” was not included in the article. Purdue will be in their third year of their program this fall. An outcome based education, more programs need to follow.
