Agree completely.

As someone in the middle of struggling to pay back loans right now, I know how hard it is. Going off my personal experience, I am already thinking that there is no way my future kids will ever be able to afford school in 25-30 years. It sucks.

hip hop culture, black history, etc. it was really interesting for me because i've taken mostly all science classes, so it was nice to have a different perspective being taught.

I agree that some of these courses can be very legitimate. And contrary to some views here, the purpose of a college education isn't to train you for a job, it is to teach you to think, analyze, solve problems and communicate your findings. And to expose you to other ways of thinking and viewing material. it is completely possible that a class on hip hop or alternative religions, or vampires could meet those goal just as one in Shakespeare could. It is also possible that a class in Chemistry could be a joke. I took one of those, billed as Chemistry for non-scientists it turned out to be useless drivel like how chemistry applies to baking. I guess the best part was we learned the recipe for the filling in Twinkees (and it didn't involve whipped cream...let's jsut say I never ate one after that).

Got it. Lots to learn there if the profs take it seriously and require work. I had a number of "heavy academic" classes that were blowoffs just because they didn't require attendance or work.

You're confusing a college education with ITT Tech. If you're able to appreciate a Shakespeare Sonnet and at least understand the concepts of economics and the sciences if not the details, the money was spent wisely. If you got all tha tin high school you were either very bright, or very lucky in terms of the high school you attended.
