Americans Losing Faith in College Degrees, Poll Finds
I see a lot of people talking about the increasing cost of college being part of the reason people are losing faith in degreees. I too, agree that this is a large part.<p>However, did nobody else experience the dumbing down of colleges like I have? I was told growing up that college courses were taught by educated, experienced professors. Yet every year I was there though I got more and more adjunct professors who were working second jobs at supermarkets to make ends meet and TAs who were required to teach a course for their graduate degree but should have never passed the course they were teaching in the first place. The absolute worst I had was an economics course where some TA spent _every_, _single_ class at the whiteboard muttering to herself and trying to draw the charts in our textbook from memory but failing utterly to do so.<p>The entire class complained to the university and they didn&#x27;t even respond. We all just stopped caring because we given decent grades anyway and pushed through in our degrees.<p>It is no wonder that people lose faith in the colleges when they let that happen and still award you with a degree like you learned something
