43. Critical thinking should be an ENTRY requirement, much less for graduation.
College attendance is only a reason to make student loans for the banks nowadays ...with the result that we now have a subprime college industry and bubble, just like the subprime mortgage fiasco.

These kids will end up being the entitled and incompetent management class, dependent on low-paid and literate but undegreed worker "ants". (This has been going on for decades, it isn't new - just getting much worse.)

The "meritocracy" is a myth. For the most part, those who should be in college can't get in due to the cost; and those who have no interest in college get the degrees because they can buy them. And we wonder why we have a long list of crises in this world?

We human beings are skating on such thin ice, it's crazy.

Thank a (big) banker for it. They are the root of all evil that we have today.
