[QUOTE="ThatRobGuy, post: 77517709, member: 123415"] That would require people to change how they think about college, and introduce some much needed pragmatism into the process. For instance, In the Scandinavian countries that offer to cover the tuition cost via taxpayer money, it's very much a meritocracy (they have some strict entrance criteria, about half of people who apply get rejected, it's as high as [URL='https://www.oecd.org/education/education-at-a-glance/EAG2019_CN_FIN.pdf']a 2/3 rejection rate in places like Finland[/URL]) They put a cap on how many available slots there are to study specialties (like journalism, fine arts, etc...) So in order for it to work, people would need to somewhat detach themselves from the notion of "it's owed to me to get to study this thing I'm passionate about" At the end of the day, if there's only 6k new job openings per year in the field of journalism [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.bls.gov/ooh/media-and-communication/reporters-correspondents-and-broadcast-news-analysts.htm[/URL] ...we don't need 90k kids a year graduating with degrees in journalism [URL unfurl="true"]https://nces.ed.gov/programs/digest/d20/tables/dt20_322.10.asp[/URL] [/QUOTE]
