I think college is great, but I think the academics of just became way too commercial and for upward mobility to higher brackets of money vs true academics and the truth worth of learning. I'm more self taught and it's easier for me to understand then someone talking to me and expecting me to do homework and I noticed I keep the majority of the information far better if just debate and learn arguments and counter arguments. Writing papers aren't no big deal for me and it keeps me focus. So when I do make the move I'll have to be there for a year before going back to school, but probably do a trade or something new just for an extra hustle.
 if you go to uni and you come out knowing just your one subject then you're a bigger idiot than what you were when you went in 

however people love to critique the higher ed argument by saying that exactly, (you're just versed in your one subject) however learning to critically appraise data, or as you say it in simpler more layman's terms, to counter one argument with another, is an essential life tool that is invaluable to our individual existence as we digest information from all sources 

most higher ed graduates leave uni with that essential skill 

 You didn't read my whole post. I basically said it became more commercial and is not what it once was. You just added words to what I was saying. Of course you don't go to college and be versed in one subject, this is not a trade. What I'm saying that schools definitely in America is far too capitalistic. It's not what it once was, not in the early 1900s, not in the 1800s, definitely not what it once was in Timibiktu. College should not just be as a economic mobility like how people treat it and I do have friends who treat it as such with degrees, but expanding the mind and becoming better as a human being and etc.
