most people are disturbed by the suggestion that the values, norms, and behaviors being inculcated into students through the schools appear to be in conflict with the values associated with personal growth and development.

We think sending more people to college will revitalize the economy. What if it just creates a lot of bookish baristas?
Our current higher education ecosystem is going to be dead in a couple of decades at most. The cost of education cannot continue to skyrocket like this without providing a solid ROI. Eventually people are going to realize that higher-level degrees are not worth nearly as much as they’ve been led to believe, and they’re going to stop enrolling. Tuition will drop, some lower-performing schools will shut down, and fewer students will pursue bachelor/master/PHD programs. Shorter 1-2 year specialized programs, and apprenticeships, will continue to gain popularity with students and with employers and hopefully we’ll eventually have a new equilibrium that is more sustainable. I don’t think that’s the best outcome - because I still subscribe to the liberal-arts-citizen-building view of education and wish that the educational system could be designed to provide that rather than just turn a profit - but it is probably the best that the US can hope for at this point.

Krys Boyd talked to Peter Cappelli about whether or not this investment of your life savings will pay off.
Some of the complaints about skill shortages boil down to the fact that employers can't get candidates to accept jobs at the wages offered. That's an affordability problem, not a skill shortage. A real shortage means not being able to find appropriate candidates at market-clearing wages. We wouldn't say there is a shortage of diamonds when they are incredibly expensive; we can buy all we want at the prevailing prices.
