College scandal's big lesson: College educations are worthless
by Washington Examiner | March 13, 2019 02:13 PM
The college admissions scandal exposed by federal prosecutors Tuesday is at once shocking and unsurprising.
Shocking because of the dollar amounts involved, the lengths to which parents and the professional riggers went, and the brazenness of it all. Unsurprising because everyone suspected that the wealthy have a way of rigging the system and playing by a different set of rules from the rest of us.
Donald Trump is our president, and Bernie Sanders is the Democrats' rock star right now, precisely because average Americans are furious at what seems like a tilted playing field. This sort of thing only heightens that widely held perception.
Look closely enough, and you’ll see another shocking yet unsurprising lesson of this all: College education isn’t all that valuable. Think about what was involved here.

It's no longer shocking to learn the system is rigged. The useful lesson in the current scandal is how useless most of the lessons in college really are.
