I think this is an unfortunate side-effect of democracy. Since we've conflated "education" with "vocational training" and both with "learning", society winds up imposing asinine burdens. Going to college is necessary in order not to have a dead-end job; it's one more obstacle in the way of the fiscally struggling, it's another form of torture to the Philistine, and it's a dilution of any real benefit of a college to those who are interested in learning.

But the article was well-written.
