If a person had the best, fastest horse in the world, he would still use a car to get around. No matter how good the horse, the car will get him where he wants to go more quickly. The car will carry him at lower cost with greater comfort.
Once, the United States had the best college/university system in the world. Now, with the internet giving each student access to the best teachers in each field of study, classrooms, colleges, and universities are as useful to learning as a horse is to transportation. There may be a few, artificial places like race tracks where a fast horse is important or useful. For .99% of us, cars are better. Now, the United States has the most wasteful over-investment in bricks-and-mortar colleges.
Today, going to college, like owning a horse, is an extravagance.
More men are not going to college. More women are going to college. Men are righter. Outside of a few sciences that require labs, there is no need for college. Otherwise, when it comes to wasting time and money, college does more harm than good.
But, controlling employment by certification gives colleges an importance they would otherwise not have. As long as teachers, for instance, have to be certified, and certification can only be granted by colleges, those who seek such employment will go to college. Women, by nature, seek the security of jobs that are, historically, more secure.
As the huge number of colleges, and the nearly incalculable number of drone-positions within them, continues to waste more money, they will begin to disappear.
Since many are funded by governments, many colleges will last far longer than they should. But, the handwriting is on the monitor. They are dying, and deserve to disappear before they impoverish more taxpayers and students.
Economically, colleges are wastes. Many are morally bad. College programs have intentionally done a lot of damage to faith and morals. They’ve kept a lot of families from being formed and a lot of children from being born. It’s amazing that any of us have survived their destructive uselessness because, in most cases, college does more harm than good.
Millions of former college attendees have not survived the financial and moral destruction they were convinced to bring upon themselves by attending college. Those with useless degrees in useless studies are utterly dependent on creating or maintaining useless bureaucracies for employment. They spend their lives shameless feeding off their neighbors. Those who travel such broad pathways of lies have a hard time getting past the “love your neighbor” test at the final exam. Many, who used the faddy myths of over-population to justify their own selfishness, are now lonelier than they would have been.
In most cases, college does more harm than good. Avoiding college, especially in areas outside the real sciences, is avoiding the culture of death and all that is visits upon its followers forever.
