A World Without College Society
The main purpose of higher education is not to teach useful skills. It provides a means for students with resources and determination to signal that they are dedicated, disciplined, productive workers. “Studying irrelevancies for four years will impress future employers and raise income potential … As a society, we continue to push ever larger numbers of students into ever higher levels of education. The effect is not better jobs or greater skill levels, but a credentialist arms race” (2,560 words)
