    People have realized that a college education is largely a sham. It was different when everyone believed it was the key to success and wealth.

        It an industry to extract profit more than it is about education. That’s why people have student loan debt decades after graduating. It’s not that you can’t get a good education and use it to further a career. It’s that it’s become a machine to create debt and trap people.

        I dated a lawyer who griped that she naively got into law to do good and ended up working for a firm representing a major arms manufacturer because of student debt. Last I heard, she became a public defender, which is awesome, but not a choice a lot of people in that position can or will make.
