More high school grads are skipping college
In the 20 + years I have been teaching college, the administrators running universities have exhibited a it's still 1964 mentalilty.
the cost of college has soared far beyond the benefits of starting salaries. Over a trillion dollars of debt has been created. Biden's proposal to forgive debt outright likely will not pass the courts but the mere suggestion sends a message that schools are free to continue increasing tuition and fees. When will the game end?
This article suggests the pandemic was a game changer. Staying home reminded many there are other avenues and many do not involve shouldering debt. MOre companies like google and amazon offer good starting salaries and on the job training for a higher skill, and it's free while one earns a living.
the article notes, the results may be dire! Yes but for who, not the country rather the luxurious campuses which now required thousands of new entrants willing to take on debt to continue the game. take a read as bob dylan said
