Another big problem that will result from free college for everyone is the
problem with scarcity. A college degree used to be highly valuable and a
pathway to higher paying management and executive careers. Now, it has about
the same value as a high school diploma did in 1980. The larger the number
of people with college degrees, the less special they are. There are many
jobs on the market now that require a college degree for applicants to be
considered, but would have ... 阅读全帖 |

"I would say that was one of the offers that is on the table," the retired
