There's no problem with getting that higher education but there is a problem with student loans and how they hinder people into perpetual debt slavery. There is a problem with how education is vauled in America not even in terms of who has skills, who can cultivate them, who can learn, and who can actually get stuff but in the terms of how it relates in terms of dollars. I can't say that this is right at all, and if anything is an indicator of utterly f*cked up the system is now. Going to school to basically secure some sort of future for oneself and training for jobs that are consistently being outsourced to other countries for less, to possibly make money and find a job in a field that may or may not exist years down the line, and to spend loads of money that you'll never be able to pay back in your lifetime depending on what you major in and who you are. Bottom line, I can see why them 99% people were mad...when even higher education is a roadblock to success in itself? It's not for everyone, it doesn't guarantee you a job, and most people can't afford it. Frankly I just think College is just a way to keep the status quo in the same place that it was years ago simply on how it's structured. The college system is not designed to precipitate change, cause if it was it wouldn't be so expensive.
I just think we're really in a weird time period right now and most people are just seeing the colossal magnititude of everything now and people are nervous cause they don't know what the future is going to be like. Other than learn skills and information that can already be acquired online, the only other way they make money (if they're not a state school which mostly makes money from state funding, mainly involving sports and development) is through donations (hence the reason you see so many wealthy and rich people making donations to have wings of a campus in their names). Other than that, most students are getting drunk, high, and messing around and just doing nothing. Sure you can gain life skills, but do you really have to go to college to do that?
I'm already seeing the physical decay of college campuses all together...maybe those big buildings will be used as storage, but as the world changes and technology proliferates I can just see less people going to college because with the erosion of the middle class and the economy it will just be too expensive for people to even try to take on the debt of student loans.
TL:DR; it's all scam, debt is slavery.
some of us would rather take those loans on to secure us a job that doesn't require physical labor. And while it doesn't make us right and those who made the decision not to go to school wrong, it was our choice to begin with.
