Who needs a fancy education when everything is online? Google, Wikipedia, Youtube, etc can provide an education that is better than most expensive colleges. I have no student debt holding me back. There is no point taking on a huge debt for an education that does not guarantee a job.

When people think businesses can provide better pedagogic services than public servants...

Most of the tuition money goes towards non academic elements of college, like sports teams and board members.

Even on public schools a good chunk of money invested in schools goes to contractors instead of academic improvement.

This is true, you're better off learning a trade in this day and age over everything else.
