Higher education as whole has become a ponzi scheme.
Look, parents these days really need to look at their kids' strengths and weaknesses. I went to school with a lot of kids who didn't need to be in a 4-year school. Hell, I probably would've been better off working for a couple of years after high school and figuring out what I really wanted to do rather than going right into college. This has nothing to do with race; it has to do with kids going into debt to get meaningless degrees and taking a $24,000/year job with a 4-year degree.
Your average C student probably doesn't need to go straight into a 4-year college. They need to work and find out what they enjoy doing (or at least something they don't hate). Most of the time they could get a certificate or two year degree to advance that career path. Maybe they find something that would require a 4-year degree for advancement and then they go to university.
If I had a kid, I'd rather them be a welder with a 6-month certificate than have a masters degree in gender studies and working the night shift stocking shelves.
