Hypothetically I prefer the american system to having to pay VAT throughout my entire life so that a bunch of degenerate dingbats can go to art school. I wouldn't be against subsidized trade school or STEM, though.

This whole conversation kind of beggars the question of why it's so expensive to begin with so I did a little research. In the 70s a high-end college in the U.S. (Harvard!) was $15,000 or so when adjusted for inflation; expensive, but obtainable. These days it's well over $40,000. Why?

>Higher education payrolls have also been rapidly adding non-teaching jobs in recent years. Public and private colleges and universities expanded their payrolls by 28 percent between 2000 and 2012, more than 50 percent faster than the previous decade, according to an analysis of higher education staffing by the Delta Cost Project. That build-up largely tracked the rise in enrollments.

>"Many of these new positions appear to be providing student services, but whether they represent justifiable expenses or unnecessary 'bloat' is up for debate," wrote Donna Desrochers, the report's principal researcher.

It appears these incredible costs have accrued in the US because of overpaid worthless staff like diversity councilors, safe-space enforcers etc.

Look at this shit, there are 326 names on this list and like 3/4 or more of them are paid probably $50,000 minimum to promote "youth organizations" and spread the joys of food stamps to the alumni.

This is no doubt the same problem with art schools where there needs to be dozens of staff members on hand to protect the delicate sensibilities of the histrionic art school personalities dwelling within.
