Because a lot of people don’t see college as a learning opportunity but as an earnings opportunity since most high paying jobs require a degree. Money being involved corrupts the whole learning process.

Because those idiots just want the paper and a job and $$. The problem with this genius plan is sooner or later it catches up with them , when they get fired or kicked out of med school or grad school.

We have never had as many professional faculties kick students out as in the last 2 years at my university. All entered with A+ transcripts. My own courses are now 100% back to paper quizzes, and digital notes will not be shared and 1/3 of lectures are back to the chalkboard. When they learn this on first lecture, 1/4 drop the course -don't let the door hit your asses on the way out. Have fun in PSYCH.

I went to the gym and used a forklift to lift the weights.

I work at a university and also have many degrees. You'd be amazed at the number of times I have heard people tell me that they aren't interested in learning, they just want the paper so that they can get a job. For many people, improvement and growth aren't part of the equation, they are only focusing on a future paycheck.

Because US colleges are becoming degree mills.
