You have to ask yourself how many liberal arts grads does the country need.Used to be, students would leave school after grade 8 and go get a job.The left will try and explain it away as college shouldn't be so expensive.
That we should pay for college because we pay for k-12.
And other crazy ideas.
The problem with college being so expensive is the simple fact that wages have increased. The wage of a janitor has increased. The wages of those printing text books have increased. The wages of the people overseeing electricity production and distribution have increased. The wage of a professor has increased.
The tax payers pay for k-12 because it covers required basic courses of study. Once one gets to college it is no longer the government deciding what you are taught. We could require everyone to major in business but that does not help.
HS was for the elite
In today’s society, post HS education including vocational school is necessary to get a job you can support yourself on
Problem is, that education is becoming unaffordable for many Americans
