Dude two seconds on Google got me all this research that clearly states college degrees more than pay for themselves. All you could find was one shitty wiki article??
If you're struggling that's a reflection of you. Don't project your incompetence on society.

Those who go to school earn a sufficiently high wage premium that they do not require subsidization. End of story.
If they want a budget option they are available.
I see no reason to give future high earners tens of thousands of public dollars and have the public assume all the risk if they fail. Figure it out for yourself or don't go.
The problems have not been solved in other countries. They are just hiding in bloated government spending that benefits only high earners and shifts all the risk to the public. Hard pass.

Community college. Online school, or go to another country. A better accreditation system would help as currently the colleges themselves get to gate keep who can offer classes and how.
But there are affordable schools out there. Cuny Brooklyn is like 5k tuition for example.

>Or an example of competition in no way benefitting the consumer.
They get nice shit when they study. That's definitely a benefit.
Seems like kids want nice shit more than they want cheap school. Otherwise most of these private schools wouldn't exist, everyone would go to Suny Binghamton for 4k/yr not Syracuse for $40k.
The consumer does not seem to be too concerned with cost during the selection process.

I didn't graduate that long ago and the school I went to is much nicer now then when I graduated.
Brand new athletic facility. A number of the old buildings were gutted and remodeled.
That's student dollars they are spending.

The extra amenities don't pay for themselves.
The college my dad went to was basically an oversized high school. Then my sister went to look at it a few years ago and now it's really nice. New dorms, new gym, new library and labs. New cafeteria.
Like 7x the price.

These data show that the college wage premium increased rapidly through the 1980s and early part of the 1990s, rising from 40 percent to upwards of 70 percent. Since the late 1990s, the premium has experienced a much slower rate of growth, drifting at times below and above 80 percent.
