I agree that Germany tracks too quickly. I feel the ideal situation would develop more vocational opportunities here in the US and at the same time have a movement toward “budget colleges” – all the seriousness of academics without the frills so that the costs can start coming down. It just seems that the majority of colleges are caught up with “keeping up with the Jones” and that just drives the amenities and the related costs upwards and through the roof. Tons of articles about how the cost of higher education greatly outstrips the rate of inflation.
