You identify the best teachers for each subject…you record their lectures…you have grad students create study guides, exam questions, etc…you give the kids laptops and an internet connection…you have them report to a certified testing center a few times per year…when they’ve successfully met all the requirements, you hand them a diploma.
Seriously, there’s no reason why a perfectly respectable Bachelor’s degree should cost more than $6,000ish.
With regards to minimum wage and automation and stuff, a universal minimum income is coming to the US (we actually already have a quasi version of it in the form of rampant welfare fraud).
Alright, the government will give you money for nothing but rather than letting you sit around all day thinking of ways to get in trouble, you’ll be picking up degree after degree after degree.
Why not, the incremental cost is almost nothing and constantly passing exams serves as a pretty good proof that the UMI recipients aren’t partying too hard.
Would you please do yourself a favor? Apply for welfare.
It’s just not what you imagine it to be.
I realize how it’s portrayed but the reality is wildly different.
