The fields that absolutely require college, generally speaking allow the person to pay it back due making above average means upon exit. But liberal arts, history, a lot of business, some engineering, and even some medical professions college is dumb.

Covid proved how dumb doctors can be and they’re some of the most highly educated out there.

And most of the people wanting loan forgiveness chose dumb majors in college



While I agree. I also disagree to some point
History is a dang good metric we should live by. It’s the reason the left wants it rewritten continually. English is necessary, especially cursive. There’s a reason to dumb down language and the left doesn’t want a national language of English

I have barely used cursive writing since I left high school almost 40 years ago. Birthday cards and my signature.

Good English and composition is important, but that should be learned before college. If the kids haven't learned good English before college, first year college courses are not designed to correct their deficiencies.

I had a great English teacher. We diagramed sentences. I always enjoyed that because it was logical to me. When I started working and had to type up safety reports, etc. I was really thankful for taking 2 years of typing
