So only rich people should be able to partake in higher education. You should be ashamed of yourself. This is one of the most embarrassing things I've read on RS.
University has become overrated because its a business, that has lost a lot of interest of the future of its alumni. They pump thousands of people through a year for a degree where only 20 jobs will be offered with no responsibility of sharing the information of bleak employment prospects when new students are entering a program. How many education degrees do you think UBC handed out last year? And how many jobs are there to be had in that field? UBC knows, but I'm willing to bet the students didn't know. Is it their own fault? Maybe, but when they don't offer readily available information on the topic, when they have it to offer, thats poor business ethics.
