Traditional College Will Collapse

The traditional college system has failed students. High school graduates were convinced that a four-year degree was the golden ticket, allowing huge salaries, fat retirement plans, three-week vacations, and a trophy wife with a big ass. Unfortunately for the individuals who've partaken in this wet dream, most have failed to develop the marketable skills desirable by employers. Rather than working at jobs offering six figures, their stuck slinging beer, or lecturing about race while serving coffee at Starbucks. Over the years college tuition has only risen, while wages remain stagnant, so the solution has been to take out a ridiculous amount of debt to pay for tuition. What's the solution to this problem?

The solution to combating the high cost of a traditional college is the internet. What these stupid, moronic, and brain-dead academic elites don't understand is the internet offers free or low-cost courses. A few examples are Udemy.com, Coursera.org, and Youtube. You can find courses, on any subject, for as low as $10 on Udemy.com. Signing up on Coursera.org is free, and you can start taking online classes from colleges around the world. Youtube has a plethora of instructional videos you can watch without paying a dime; I learned HTML with just one video from Youtube. Higher education is an obsolete concept that is dead and buried, so this article from Zerohedge highlights the incoming decline in college enrollment, http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-08-24/slumping-college-enrollment-signals-americans-are-no-longer-buying-college-lie.

    Online learning is pretty darn good if it's just for knowledge. The value of colleges will always be the exclusivity and the certificate.

        Thank you for stopping by. It's just amazing how many resources are out there and a lot of people don't even have a clue on the type of information they can have access to.
