[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s interesting that these results are read by most primarily as an indictment of colleges’ rising costs and not as hopelessness about the job market, the consolidation of wealth among a smaller and smaller group, and the efforts of corporations to slash labor costs.

Why do you think Peter Thiel and Elon Musk are telling kids they don’t need college degrees? Because college degrees have historically correlated with higher wages for workers and lower profits at the top. Why do you think we keep hearing about how AI is going to take all of our jobs? Because that gives companies cover to cut jobs and pay the people who are left less.

Look at the wording of the question: “worth the cost because people have a better chance to get a good job and earn more money over their lifetime.” This isn’t just about college costs; this is hopelessness.[/quote]

And if anyone on this board listened to Theil and his views for humanity College would be the #1 thing you want for your kid!

People wake up for god's sake and read Project 2025 cognitively then take notes and go over to Theil's utubes and speeches you dam fools![/quote]
