At this point higher education has just become a means of gatekeeping office/email jobs (representing the ‘don’t be an asshole’ group) while not giving the tens of thousands to a land speculator doubling as a school puts you on the ‘don’t be a pussy’ group. In the end, it’s a lot of fake jobs to keep consumption going. In the US of course.
