Again, we (as in higher ed generally) largely did this to ourselves, in tandem with the private sector -- both of us working in tandem to make education primarily transactional job training -- and we need to accept our part in that and figure out how, if possible, it can be fixed.

If a degree is just a piece of paper you need to get a desirable, good-paying job, someone invents a machine that can do it for you, and the notion that you might go to college to develop your mind for its own, non-remunerative sake is a punch line and an elite privilege, why not use the machine?
