This was an inevitable consequence of academia becoming big business. Make higher education easily available to all through government subsidy, easily obtained loans for massive amounts, and affirmative action, and at the same time push it in our culture to be the new de facto thing to do like going to high school, and this is what we get. Everyone goes to university because that's just what you do, what you've been told to do your whole life, then you get saddled with massive amounts of debt, and wet churn out millions of degrees which are absolutely worthless in the market. Unless you go for something that's truly worth money after graduation, like a STEM degree, you're shooting yourself in the foot.
And then they made it so that student loan debt is the only form of debt that doesn't go away in bankruptcy. Debt is the new slavery.
