Robots.
Actually, a college degree will be largely a waste of time in terms of traditional productive employment pretty soon. I'm going to recommend my kids become plumbers and/or electricians. It will be quite a while before robots take over that work.

Yeah, that's what they're saying. But I think the Silicon Valley guys are largely high on the fumes of their own bullshit. If they weren't talking to each other they'd see how far behind the rest of us are lagging. I'm also betting that our optimism in humanity and the future is misguided.

Re: Free College
That was my thinking too. Yet the costs continue to go up...PsychoSerenity wrote: The price of education theoretically ought to have been absolutely plummeting over the last couple of decades due to the massive technology improvements for information exchange i.e. the internet. And indeed you can download entire semesters of lectures and reading materials from some of the best universities in the world right to a device in your pocket, basically for free, and if you need to ask questions there are thousands of people at the tips of your fingers waiting to answer them.

Re: Free College
Arguably the most important thing you get from university is a qualification. That's not something you can get from free course materials online.

Everything should be free, except boats. Boats should always cost lots of money to keep the riff-raff off the water.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Re: Free College
Why did they scrap or upgraded polytechnics in the UK? There is such a demand for the practical people they produced. We still have them as do the Germans. They cant get enough students through to satisfy demand.

Renamed them universities so the lecturers can have a pay upgrade, on the backs of the students. Nothing else changed.Scot Dutchy wrote:Why did they scrap or upgraded polytechnics in the UK?

Re: Free College
Just that they became very expensive and gave out vocational degrees which are useless.
