College is a giant scam. This is well known and acknowledged, but millennials are still going. Why? What kind of retardation do you have to have to freely walk into a trap?

They're told their wholes lives to go to college.
If you don't go to college after high school you're also kinda frowned upon by your peers.

College isn't actually in terms of education. It's the fact that universities hike up the tuition because they know the government student loans will pay for it 100%. It's like with health care where hospitals know insurance will pay for it so they try to charge the most outrages prices to make the most profit.

That's different. Most people get marketing, or business degrees, which are a dime a dozen. STEM and other specialized degrees can make a lot of money.
