Should College be Necessary?

Frequently, this question is phrased as, "Is college necessary?", but to any observer, it is clear that the answer to that question is, "Yes".

Increasingly, degrees, or more advanced degrees, are required for positions that in earlier times did not require this.

"Professor X", who serves as an adjunct professor at a community college and a private liberal arts school, asks this question, and he concludes that the current educational requirements of our job market are unecessary.

An argument that the goal of universal College Education is not in the best interest of society.

The thesis is that much of education is a racket, with the modern American workplace as a co-conspirator. I agree.
