The inflation of college degrees is the worst bet this generation has ever played. In the 90s, a bachelor’s degree was nearly a guaranteed ticket to a stable middle-class income. Now, it’s a massive debt you pay interest on for 20 years, with no practical skills to show for it. We’re spending billions on outdated theories from century-old textbooks. The world runs at the speed of technology, but the education system is still stuck in standby mode. It’s no surprise young people are turning away from degrees. They’re not lazy—they’re just doing the math.
