Education itself is not the problem. Education is good. Problem is in the fact that to prove education, we need degrees which means we need to come up with outrageous amount of tuition fee to pay. Why do we have an ever rising tuition fee ? Probably because colleges know they can get away with it due to funding/subsidies. Colleges also know that a degree is a major rquirement to even try and get a decent job these days that pays more than minimum wage (outliers are there of course). So it does not matter if they charge 100K for a degree.
