“The entire education industry on the U.S. is based on an inflexible, increasingly marginal-return ‘factory model.’ We are ‘training’ millions of people in an assembly-line based on the assumption that academia is a limitless growth industry, when in fact it has reached the zenith of diminishing-return complexity and cost. Student would be encouraged to earn money via the work projects undertaken.
