The people targeted are kids right out of HS. The most ignorant, overwhelmed, and malleable of all adults, with zero commitments. The rise of colleges as a mandatory path was an orchestrated effort by the government and banks with the college institutions. The government backed loans (I think they stopped this recently?) and the fact that Congress passed a law preventing you from defaulting on student loan debts is proof of this.

People generally aren't risk takers; most people would stick to a safe path others have left out for them. And people have been told all their lives that college is the next step all while trades and alternative avenues are being downplayed.

This is on par for an engineering track. A lot of people can tell you, because of the work load it's studying to pass, not to learn. Everyone goes through that experience of constant workloads and no sleep inbetween.

Failing in academia is completely different from failing in the industry. If you fail a class, you're penalized with having spend a few months taking the course over, even worse if you needed that course as a prerequisite as then you're at a standstill until you complete it. And the failure is on your record for all to see. In the industry, you're free to do as you please if you screw up. This is important is it allows you to jump from executing idea to idea without being tied down to any innate obligations. Even better, if you screwed up and got fired, there's no record for everyone to see. Just don't talk about it. Learning how to fail and bounce back is an important process and necessity in life and academia discourages and teaches people to fear it.
He probably didn't actually go to college. I would just stop responding to him.

Most employers don't give a **** about grades and GPA. Perhaps from what school you got your degree from, but that's about it.

And if you screwed up "in the industry", your failure can not only be available for all to see, but it can cost lives if not a shit ton of money wasted.

I really dont blame anyone for cheating in college, if you're just in it for the money

Society is a dirty business, and people are gonna play dirty against you once you graduate, so do what you have to

Most of my post was talking about how you're penalized for failing while in school. And I'll concede that it depends on what kind of project it is and how far up the chain you are. If you're the lead of an architectural project that goes south, that's your reputation going down the drain. On the flipside, businesses kick the bucket all the time, not everyone gets tied to debts. I can point to companies with leads who have failed projects under their belt. It's on par for the course that you will have duds. That's why you want to learn how to fail and fail fast.
