AI is replacing many education centers. Who needs them if you can just ask a question after a question 24/7 and simply follow your path of passion?

I don’t see how the current college education racket can continue much longer… if I’m being optimistic it will be replaced by much cheaper competitor formats (like online degrees). Value of degrees plummeting while prices are skyrocketing can’t go on. I’d happily pay for trade school t...

Good question. It’s going to drastically change or get really disrupted. But I don’t think it’s going to die. We need genuine education and human based research and development.

Both I think.

My 2 both went into trades. I couldn't be happier.

Funding a child's education is a parent's responsibility. College is an educational vehicle. There are different modes of transportation, and different types of vehicles.

In Australia the average bachelor degree costs are: Teaching / Education $19,000 - $26,000 (4 years) Computer Science $30,000 - $60,000 AUD (3 years) Arts (psychology) ~$40,000 AUD (3 years) Bachelor of Medicine ~$65,000 AUD (5 years) Nursing ~$20,000 AUD (3 years) Take 30% off the prices ...

The US job market for college students is 0. Besides the social experience the college complex is already dead.

IMO it depends on what you choose as a career. If you want be a doctor then yeah, you need to go to college and then med school. I do think a lot of young people waste a lot of money on unmarketable undergrad degrees. Knowing your dad spent a shite ton of money to the University of Alabama made m...

Roll Tide! My son just finished going there as well. Congrats to your dad. I have one more that’s a sophomore elsewhere.

Totally dying as currently architected. Only when the cheap government fist dries up and these institutions are forced to run fiscal surpluses or they die will they adapt and we will see the Renaissance in further education.

College as a requirement is dead. Trade schools are legit. Some other degrees could still make sense.

I think education should be paid by the society, not the individuals

both.

Sucker's game: colleges fleece parents, fueling Sallie Mae's $200B profit, while Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg reap the benefits of cheap, indebted labor.

Negative. Both my wife and I had stupid amounts of student loans. How much of our degrees do we use each day? About 0%… I’ve learned more about business and leadership by doing it and non-college courses than whatever my degrees say I learned. So much so that at age 14 my son is starting his ...

Here in Finland, it's free (for the student). Of course you still have to cover living costs, which I'm already saving to do for my son. The downside of having free education here is that employers really care about qualifications and you can't get very far without them.

Today information is decentralised, you can learn whatever you want, whenever you want, for free.

You can learn almost everything for free these days. Also, based on my experience working in advertising and tech for the last 30-odd years (plus some side hustles, such as being a barman), you only really learn by doing, not by studying. Yes, you can attend degree courses, seminars, read books, lis...

Not a parent but IMO it is long gone

Unless my kids show some kind of genuine interest in a field that comes with serious liabilities, like architecture, certain engineering fields (civil, structural, mechanical, etc.), then college isn’t going to be pushed on them.

Roll Tide 🌊

I’m very close to having enough for my kids education and believe higher education will still be needed in the future. Who knows what that will look like though.
