How Did College Education Become So Ridiculously Expensive?

18. Don't forget the H1B visas...

companies can now hire foreign workers, with degrees for much less than Americans and those workers are happy to get the smaller amount as long as they can stay here. The result: expensive degrees that won't get you a job.

Outsourcing to other countries and even to other states that have done away with worker protections has also condemned an entire generation to work for next to nothing. The only jobs available in my area are retail jobs. The management jobs go to friends and relatives of other managers regardless of ability.

I see ads promoting tech schools all the time. One disturbing thing about them is the 'students' on the ads tell us they don't know why they need these other courses that aren't relative to the jobs they are seeking, like English Comp or History. Such useless subjects, without which these people are so much more moldable to the corporate mindset.
