1. From elementary school on, kids are taught by government-run schools that they need a college education from government-run schools.

This is partly true, but as someone else pointed out, there are way more occupations nowadays that require a college degree than ever before. Even if the things you learned in college are not at all relevant to the job. It’s their screening tool to make sure you aren’t a complete dumbass (take that FWIW), like a HS diploma was previously.

2. These government-run universities just keep making up useless majors, so everyone has a nonsensical degree field they can move into.


Government run is irrelevant; they are all the same in this regard. State schools and private schools all offer BS degrees bc they are all massively bloated and need to be cut….but there is no incentive to do so as far as they are concerned.
quote:

3. There aren't enough jobs for these garbage degrees, so they create a need for an entirely new career fields (example: diversity and equity). All of a sudden, these degrees mean something.

Agreed, they justify their own existence by hiring their own people, and the cycle continues.

College loans aren't just a "you took a loan, pay it back" problem. They are destroying our country. Simply being a debt bubble is only one way.

Couldn’t agree more.

As far as I'm concerned, any school that is beholden to government-backed college loans is government-run.
