Fewer schools, so fewer people can obtain higher education and therefore, contribute to society?
Bring on the apocalypse!

I'm ok with what version of higher education we have today collapsing and being replaced with something different. Nothing wrong with education but what we have is bullshit.

I don't think it will be replaced.

We don't need every single person (and subsequently every job to require it) to go to college. If we make it free either no one will be able to go (limiting enrollments like it was pre-World War II) or everyone will go, inflating it even more.
We have to find a fine balance and four years isn't a long time in the grand scheme of life but when it comes to education it is a very long time.

Boo-hoo. You're discounting an annual tuition 67% and it's coming out to 37k? You know I'll sell you my microwave for 40k at a 86% discount?
