If college was marketed as on the job training instead of some romanticized version of you going out into the world and making a difference, I could see the culture changing. Just listen to the graduation speeches that are 10 plus minutes long, it's very discouraging at times because no one will ever live up to Steve Jobs, Ophrah Winfrey, Chadwick Boseman, Barack Obama etc. We drive this stuff into high school kids, and they come out of college disappointed with a lot of debt. It's an outdated model, that needs to be changed. College can't be prestigious anymore when it's expensive AF.
