What's the Matter With Kids Today

So...

unlike all previous generations, all the raw information is available on YouTube and the Internets...

which means you don't actually need to go to a school, if all you are seeking is knowledge...

which means the $200000 for a degree is wildly overpriced, if they are just giving out information, and not something that will actually transform you as a person. The information is worth $0, and having the information in your head is now also worth $0 if it's available one click away for everybody...

When will the bubble pop?

They told us college was not about the information, but about teaching you how to think; that would surely be worth $200000. If that is not happening, we have a problem.
