Is College in the U.S Dying?

[Monster]

I just saw that thread about historical black colleges falling off, it made me realize i'm not the only one who noticed something but i think the concept of everybody going to college is starting to die, for all colleges

i've been going to a university computers a couple times a week for maybe 3 years or so and for 2 years before that went to school.

i swear this year it seems like half the people are there. maybe people are realizing it's not what it's advertised as

that and there is a sense that college doesn't guarantee a job......

 

[Tapp]

If everyone out here getting degrees they don't rlly mean shyt anymore.

It's supply and demand

 

[calixprynce]

College will never die . fukk you mean ?

That's a juggernaut of a business you talkin about

Yes, but this translates to higher requirements, as in grad school/work experience. You make it seem like companies are gonna start hiring high school grads because too many people have college degrees.

Are they lowering job qualifications?

 

[DrX]

it should, if ur not in STEM, why would go to college? u can teach yourself anything with the internet and use social media to find clients....most ppl r lazy tho

college is a bubble, once kids stop caring about the party and sex aspect, because thats why they go....they dont care about an education

Truth Truth Truth

Once everyone realizes they don't have to go $50,000+ in debt to party its over with. Especially when people figure out how much more sense it makes to get a trade and go to a community college and start your own business. Going to school for 4-6+ years just to get into MASSIVE debt and take orders from some isn't the wave

9 to 5 is dying...ppl realize its bullshyt

 

[Dwayne_Taylor]

People flooded colleges after the manufacturing jobs left. That created the market for bulshyt degrees and institutions. You can get a BA from a cracker jack box now. value is tied to scarcity so you need a masters to compete. But the white collar jobs outside of stem are drying up too.
(And thats next). There really is no point unless you study stem or go to a top 25 school.

Like the housing market and subprime mortgages

Like the housing market and subprime mortgages

Or Enron or the dot com bubble

NOPE! history NEVER repeats itself all these over inflated prices will NEVER implode on itself

A high school diploma with 4 years of relevant work exp looks a lot better to these Hiring managers than diploma plus college degree these days shyt or at least it feel like it
