I had no idea that the education industry was in such dire straits. The idea that over half of colleges will collapse by 2030 is staggering. I’m curious to know what you think the root cause of this issue is. Is it due to the rising cost of tuition, lack of jobs for graduates, or something else entirely? And what do you think will happen to those students who are unable to attend college due to the collapse of these institutions?

I’ve always had my doubts about the affordability of higher education, but this statistic takes it to a whole new level. What do you think are the primary factors contributing to this projected collapse? Is it the rise of online learning, changing workforce needs, or something else entirely?

Not addressed are: research (graduate education and professors) nor lab/practicum/experiments. These often are tied physically to lecture/presentation. Virtual reality helps with some, but certainly not all. True tactile experience in life science/medical areas is often required.

I graduated high school in 2017 and I told my parents that I did not want to go to college. I thought it was too expensive and we did not have the money for it (which we did not). However, both my parents went to a 4 -year college and grad school. They were brainwashed by the system they once knew in the 80’s when the value of college was on par for the price. I grew up in Virginia where the price of college was roughly $12,000 a year. They made me apply for FASFA and get student loans. After my first interaction with my guidance consular I knew that college today is a complete joke. She laid out all the classes that I was able to take. After the first class I chose she said, “great so you want to be a Finance Major!” then I chose another one “ooo you want to be a business and finance major?” I chose another one “well that would make you a triple major in business, finance and economics” chose another class “wait so you want to be a business, finance and economic major with a minor in philosophy?” Then went on to explain how the credit system works (odd how we did not learn this in high school). Apparently, it would take me an extra year and a half to complete school, just so that I can take the classes that I actually want to learn. Then she said I “have” to take an elective, freshman studies and an English class. I hate English (as you can probably tell by my writing) why would I take a class I already know I will not be interest in and have a good chance of failing? Ooo because I “have to” which seems crazy to me because I am the one paying for the education, if a boss tells you that you have to do something then they have to pay you not the other way around. At this point there is no going back because the checks have been written and my stuff was already moved in the dorms. I start my classes and they were a joke. They should have called it Youtube university for the amount of Youtube video I had watched in class, the whole time thinking “wait don’t I have access to all of this content in my pocket?” I dropped out the next semester and got a job as an insurance producer for State Farm. My only requirement I needed was my Property and Casualty license that I got in one week of studying and roughly $200 for the material and the test. Started my first job making $30k a year plus bonuses, then I expanded and leveled up. I moved to New York Life where they paid for my study material for my Life, Health, Annuities, SIE, Series 6 and series 63. Not only that but they paid me $500 for every test I passed. Working up the ranks I moved to a new firm where they gave me a $7,500 sign on bonus and salary of $50k a year and they paid for my series 65 and series 7. Now I am working towards a Certified Retirement Counselor, and this was all in the same amount of time it took all my friends to finish their 4-year degrees. They have no work experience and little to no understanding of how the working world actually works. None of my friends who graduated in 2020 have a good salary job, they all work in restaurants, construction jobs, real estate, ect.. None of them have a job that requires a degree, and it is not that they have not been applying, they have but they have nothing substantial on their resume. The worst part is they all of $20-50k in student loans and have to make payments of $100-300 a month for a degree they have not been able to use yet. (I would know because I am their financial professional) Also if I were to recommend to a client that they should invest in something that goes up in price dramatically each year but goes now in value dramatically each year and say that it was a “safe investment” I would get fired. If I came up to a 16-year-old kid and tried to help him buy a house, well he would first need to get a loan from a loan officer. One the loan officer would lose his license if he tried to silicate a minor. Two the kid has no work record or at least not long or good enough to qualify. Well, tell me how it is at all fair or right that colleges can go high school to high school silicate minors into attending their schools. It’s an essay sell “ooo look we have, state of the art gyms, dining halls, sport stadiums, rec halls, clubs and Greek life where you can party all you want with no parental guidance… oo and we also educate you as well”. This is a joke wake up people! You all are sheep if you go to college straight out of high school. Now let’s say that 16-year-old kid had $50,000 in cash for college. He could put all of it in the market and make a safe return of roughly 7-8% a year (way more with how the markets have been acting but I will be conservatives) got a job making $25,000 a year and he took one free budgeting course online and learned how to live off of $18,000 for rent, food and daily expenses and saved the extra $7,000. After 4-years he now can qualify for a loan and has $15,000 in cash for a down payment, keeping $9,000 in a rainy-day savings account and his investment account is now roughly at $68,000. Now instead of paying rent he is paying on principle in his own home through his mortgage (which is probably cheaper than the rent before). Let’s pair this now 20-year-old to a 22-year-old college grade. One has 4-years of work experience, a healthy savings account, house to call his own and an amazing head start on his retirement plan. Now let’s take this newly “woke” college graduate who has little to no work experience, $50,000 of student loan debt (that has been accruing interest this whole time) and no idea how to structure a budget or really any common sense. Who would you rather be?

Academic person here, it is the year 2021. It is fall 2021. A pandemic has occurred that knocked the wind out of colleges and universities. Enrollment is low at my college, and it is low throughout the whole system. I am only one professor on campus, because I got vaccinated early, as well as wearing masks, which is a requirement. Our overall system wants to merge all community colleges and state universities into a “one college” system. While, they are doing this they are hiring CEOs, Presidents, Deans. Thereby, creating a system of bureaucracy that eats away at the revenue of our Connecticut State Colleges and Universities. Our chancellor and president earn over $400K a year. Faculty are being attacked and morale is low. They want a 75% cut in force, squash academic freedom, squash faculty governance. However, these chancellors and presidents evidently did not read State law in Connecticut regarding layoffs. The Governor has the legal authority to issue a layoff and not the Board of Regents. The law in Connecticut is based on seniority. If a layoff occurs to reduce state force, then many of the people just recently hired as CEOs, Presidents, Chancellor will be laid off too. You can see where this is going. Those in charge have given themselves hefty salaries and raises on the state’s dole. This is the reality of the system I work in.

Good Riddance. I wasted most of my life getting degrees in engineering and law. I will still be paying student loans long after my alma maters are smoking ruins.
