Higher Education Debate

Be it resolved, cut public spending on higher education, it’s a waste of time and money.

A University education is commonly viewed as the best path for young people to launch a successful career. Proponents of higher education argue that these institutions create well rounded individuals who learn excellent writing and critical thinking skills that flourish in the workplace and set students on a path towards professional success.

Lately, however, critics of colleges and universities are arguing the opposite: spending thousands of dollars on a University degree is a waste of time and money that doesn’t teach employable skills and leaves students weighed down by unmanageable student debt for years to come.
