, no. College educations would be for those who can capitalize on it. If you're taking our $50k because you got a 22 on the ACT and want to live off campus while you pursue your marketing degree at State University, you're not helping society in the slightest.

The education that those elites received was better than what we get now. It was certainly much harder.
In fairness, I don’t think we could hack that sort of rigor.
What we have now is watered down credentialism which does little to educate, and does nothing for society.

The average college grad is not much better educated than the average high school grad. Just look at all the posters on this board who can't spell correctly and blame it on autocorrect.
I'll also note that for the most part anyone can just buy the textbooks and learn on his own, especially with all the online resources available.
A degree helps you market yourself because it's a certificate to back up that you studied a certain curriculum. But it doesn't mean you actually learned how to think.

If you think today's crop of students are educated you're living in a dream world.
