Free College and Discharge of Existing Student Loans

[Irving]

Once everybody has a BA, what is the value of a BA? Virtually nothing. In some industries it's already to the point where merely being a "college graduate" doesn't even open the door anymore. Unless you graduated from an ivy league school, if you don't have an advanced degree or some significant experience, your resume goes into the circular file.

Well, maybe not. Perhaps from a very narrow employer perspective. But I doubt you'd ever hear someone say (not now anyway), "What's the value of being able to read if everyone else can read just as well as you?"

This would be a valid analogy, if college degrees were truly about education. Sadly, college ends up being expensive daycare for superannuated adolescents more often than not, and those that want to truly learn about most things can do it without the dubious benefits of the college environment.
