For 4 (Your college degree is probably worthless): is the purpose of college to get a job or to learn?  The traditional college curriculum is structured in a way that suggests it&#x27;s the latter, yet we live in a society that expects the prior.<p>I&#x27;d argue that college is doing exactly what it always intended to do -- to create an environment of learning.  The disconnect occurs because of how it markets itself.  The focus on &quot;job placement statistics&quot; and &quot;post college salaries&quot; sends the wrong message to its customers.
