College- will anyone go in ten years?
- Thread starter Nitt1300
- Start date
Coffee shop baristas still need degrees regardless.
Yes. The big name schools will still be very much around. Smaller, liberal arts schools will be far fewer in number.
The thing is that collapse starting long before NIL came on the scene. NIL is just the last staw.I give Penn State five years.
Not me. I’m done gettin’ smart.
What will happen to the Phyrst and Zeno’s??I give Penn State five years.
Demographics are driving that trend. Even state school branch and regional campuses closing along with the small private liberal arts colleges
"Your to stupid to have gone to Penn State".
You can find online comprehensive solution sets to the exercises in just about every classic mathematics textbook. A rite of passage for mathematics students is to work your way through the exercises, it’s invaluable training. I don’t have the imagination to know where things are going to go from here.
We knew. We all knew.
Given the issues at lower education levels, the better question is
"Will anyone really be qualified to attend college in 10 years?"

But if college is unnecessary due to AI, then the rich kids will just sit on their yots with scones and lattes.
They already do that. Just when they wear their Vassar or Harvard sweatshirts they can act somewhat legitimate.

Honestly outside of hard science or engineering majors this isn’t true. The number of wealthy people I know with LA degrees is staggering. It’s really about connections, networking, and getting good internships. People who can write well, synthesize ideas, defend a position, speak in public, and form coalitions are extremely valuable and really do all of the non-scientific work in the country. It’s not hard - be charismatic and swift on your feet and you’ll be fine - regardless of major.
The government has become so heavy handed that a lot of professions require a masters degree when IMO that isn't necessary. Elementary school teachers are a prime example. Physical therapists are required to have a doctor of physical therapy degree.
Too many people run up a lot of debt to get degrees in things like Culinary Arts, Fashion Design, Theater, Art History, and Music. I don't think it's right to tell people they can't major in such things but I also thing the government should refuse to give loans to people majoring in things that don't have a ROI.
"Here's to the ones that we got
Cheers to the "wish you were here, but you're not"
'Cause the drinks bring back all the memories
Of everything we've been through
Toast to the ones here today
Toast to the ones that we lost on the way
'Cause the drinks bring back all the memories
And the memories bring back, memories bring back you
There's a time that I remember when I did not know no pain
When I believed in forever and everything would stay the same
Now my heart feel like December when somebody say your name
'Cause I can't reach out to call you, but I know I will one day, yeah
Everybody hurts sometimes
Everybody hurts someday, ay-ay
But everything gon' be alright
Go and raise a glass and say, ay"
go to jp morgan as a junior lib major and ask for a summer internship let me know how you make out lol
every one of your rich friends have masters degrees amirite
Good possibility Steve,
birth rates for the next decades are projected 2-3% less than 20025 causing additional impact to college closings.
My 2 cents. The AI bubble is coming had many companies thought it would reduce labor costs and automate everything(look up Dark Factory), however, only certain companies processes can use something like this and fitting into existing legacy processes in not as easy as they thought. AI doesn't always get it right and makes things worse and now with the cost of subscriptions and token usage it is costing more then the engineer they laid off. Also, with the demographic cliff coming, some colleges are preparing others not so we will see more failed colleges closing. Also, also, some students are embracing AI(like tech majors), some do not want to embrace AI. Lastly, I will still watch football because its football. Hopefully one day someone will fix all the bullshiite around the game. May just start going to local high school games to get my football fix.
Can do better than that at Capital One. Trust me.
And no - with a few exceptions, most only have bachelors degree and even then, not on the field where they make their money. And few if any ‘elite’ schools.

Vassar? That is one that may not be around although it may stick around just for rich kids who can't get in anywhere else.

Vassar’s endowment is about $1.2bn with an enrollment of fewer than 3,000. Penn State’s endowment is about $4.2bn with an enrollment of more than 10x that. I think Vassar will be fine given its constituents.
