Hooray! America has 1.2 million fewer college students than it had a decade ago, according to Pew Research (https://www.breitbart.com/education/2023/12/26/survey-fewer-young-men-are-attending-college/). About 1 million of those making the exodus from (LOL) “higher education” are young men.
The No. 1 reason given for not finishing college or just not going in the first place is–no surprise–the cost. It’s an arm and a leg, you’ll be in debt for many years, and just how badly do you think you need a degree in Gender Studies?
Other reasons that spring to mind include the sheer abysmal quality of a modern college “education”–which doesn’t look much different from a high school education, which is no significant advance over what they do to you in middle school, etc. etc.
The “EVERYBODY GOES TO COLLEGE!” model has been a disastrous failure and must be abandoned as soon as possible.
