Maybe we should question why colleges charge 6-figures for an education like that. Instead of trying to get rid of it entirely.

You’d learn more about the humanities by traveling for a year, than spending 4 years being lectured to by ivory tower academics.

Perhaps we should allow the Peace Corps to grant 4-year degrees? I feel like that would give you the best of both worlds.
