#60: Navigating a Decaying Education System

The cost of higher education has risen by 1,640% since 1963. This is absurd. Few would argue the quality has improved. Oh but wait, it gets even better, more than half of all American students go into debt to get through college, and the average is $37,500 in 2020. Collectively, students owe nearly $1.6 trillion.There is plenty of blame to go around: ineffective politicians, money-focused and politically motivated school administrators, poor faculty.  I know as I a part of this system. In this podcast, I want to talk to students, parents, and concerned citizens about how to navigate the landmines of higher education, as there is a way to not only survive but thrive in this mess. The "modern" American education system was formed almost 170 years ago--slavery was still legal, electricity was not widely available, and having an indoor washer and dryer were considered luxuries.  The system is antiquated and is breaking down before our eyes and the reforms administrators are focusing on will do little to nothing to fix real education problems, so students and parents need the right mindset to overcome the problems and get value from college--economically and intellectually.Send us Fan MailFollow the Intellectual Freedom Podcast on Social Media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61581532813468 X : https://x.com/Int_Freedom_podLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/intellectual-freedom-podcast
