People go to college to learn. If we can learn just as much without going to college, we shouldn’t. Unless, we want to waste a lot of time and money.
Everyone asks, with varying degrees of seriousness, “Is college for dummies? Though more people, especially since the internet, answer “Yes.”, lots of people keep on going to college. They choose to go on wasting time and money. Every year, the need to attend college becomes less obvious. At the same time, the cost of going to college increases.
As colleges cost more, grades are inflated. Now, everyone has A and B averages. Dean’s Lists are as long as rolls of toilet paper. Professors have to “pay” the students for wasting so much time. Now, when people ask, “Is college for dummies?”, the answer is increasingly likely to be an even more resounding “Yes!”
Since college is becoming more useless, why are people there? Most people go so that they can spend long years becoming “certified” in some field that does not need certification as much as honest competition, which the certification process destroys. They lack self-confidence. Others go because they want to waste four years on sports, drinking, and other activities that do more harm than good.
As more people answer “Yes.” to “Is college for dummies?”, there will begin to be massive unemployment in higher education. Many such institutions already have more deans and administrators than teachers. No one knows what such people do all day.
It has been suggested that the only useful degree that could be obtained is never offered: “Cutting costs of college educations.”
As more people have more access to better information on the internet, mostly for free, it will become apparent that only those unable to get jobs with their own abilities will waste time and money going to college.
Still, those who go to college have one advantage. Many people make a living by worshipping the various idols that are before us, like the various Global Freezing/Warming scams and the need for cleaner ———- .
Those who go to college prove that they are not the sort of people who are concerned about the truthfulness of such things or of wanting to do something about the lack of it. Those who successfully participate in lies and frauds are the only ones welcomed to the employment opportunities they offer.
So, colleges will continue, even as the higher education bubbles deflate.
