I think the economics of it are changing. The cost is sky rocketing, and the final product is plummeting.
I have young kids, but I readily admit I am not sure what the next 10 years holds for higher education. Less jobs require that degree in favor of certificates in a particular field. AI with some heavy headwinds on software and other tech fields.
Who knows... I'm not rigid one way or the other. Wife and I both have our degrees and were firmly raised in the "college is the only way" generation.
