Making college ‘free’ will only make it worse

The simple answer is that colleges will have to do a better job of matching incoming students to projected job openings. Nowadays, we basically let students do whatever they want, good luck finding employment. Universities will have to do a much more deliberate job, in at least a broad sense, of matching skills learned in college to openings in the market. College is not merely job training and good degrees are wide-ranging in their applications, but there are nevertheless only so many people of any given skillset that are necessary for the country. Right now, universities are only too happy to let people get a degree that won’t do them any good. That needs to stop.

As for the larger economic issue of globalism, that is an issue that goes far beyond the scope of education and is going to come to a head in the next decade or two. Europe before the US, but it’s on the way here as well.
