One of the Worst Education Articles I've Read

[sanantone]

Looks like exactly what it is.  A biased opinion piece by an under-informed writer.

I was taken aback by this comment, in particular..."With more people in the world and more competition than ever, you have to go to college to get a good job. "

I wonder if the author researched the $1.5 trillion in student loan debt, poor graduation rates, and the millions of unfilled trade skill jobs that do not require a degree?

It did make for amusing reading and an exercise in proofreading.

You should read my thread on how for-profit and graduate schools are responsible for this increase in debt. The student loan debt crisis is mostly sensationalism. The median debt, which is a more accurate reflection of reality than average, is only $17k for undergraduate students. Even if you look at the average, which will be skewed by outliers, it's only $30k. People spend that much on a new car. If we cut out all attendees of for-profit colleges, there would be far fewer people defaulting on loans.
