Definitely. Most things in the world are a scam. Universities (or the education system in general) is no different.

Someone benefits, while many others suffer.

Universities are expensive as hell. Student loan debt is an actual crisis in America right now. And when you really step back and look at what you are getting for that debt...it's oftentimes not worth it.

You could just as easily borrow all your textbooks from a library and read them in the privacy of your own home for free, over the course of several months. Why need some overpaid professor to have you all sit down in a room and do the same thing for tens of thousands of dollars and write papers about the shit you just read? How is that any different? Honestly?

I'm sorry, I'm going to school to become a chemist. Can someone tell me why my first year of college REQUIRES me to take an english course I already took in high school? X amount of art credits. Math credits. And other redundant shit I've already done in high school? Can I just take the classes that actually count towards my major now?

Also, it doesn't help that 99% of universities in America today have professors that (sometimes literally) throatfuck the Liberal agenda into their students.
