College Enrollment Falls as Economy Recovers

[Nay]

5. Not only is it unaffordable, even if they could afford it most degrees don't have the

payout (in the form of a decent job somewhere) that makes that degree worthwhile. That's what happens when you run a college as a money-grubbing operation instead of an educational institution. We now have lots of kids coming out of college who can't write a coherent paragraph, due to the fact that colleges are graduating bodies just to get their 4 years of tuition money. Over the years, the result has been that a college education, like a high school diploma, has devalued itself to the point that it's not that much help in getting a job (except in fields that still require rigor, like medicine or engineering).

Colleges are finally being hoist by their own petard. Lots of them will be declaring bankruptcy and closing up.
