I mean, is a university education not a sort of scam? They are giving people degrees that cost far too much to justify the kind of job you'll get coming out.

Whether or not "college education" in general is "a scam" can be debated for sure.

But we aren't talking about "college education" - imagine paying for "college education" but it's a scam so you end up with less money and no education.

I think komali2 was saying that's what happens right now — you end up with less than no money and no meaningful education.

It might be - especially in the US, where you have to pay for it (or go into debt); but it could be worse, and likely worse scams were run in the past until they were stamped out by regulation.

Study something that will get you a good job, if that’s what you’re interested in.
