    The College Conspiracy movie is about how college is turning into a scam. Below is the link to it.

    It fails to mention though, that state colleges might officially be only $6,000, but the reality is it really costs $25,000 because that is what the taxpayer is paying. It is very supportive of online education but does not mention many of the well known online schools are scams. The movies has a lot of valid points such as everyone having degrees makes college worthless and restaurants that require waitresses to have college degrees. There is a dentist that is broke and lives a dumpy house. Then there is the college construction boom and football coaches earning $4 million a year for money losing teams.

    I watched this a couple of weeks ago. Ultimately, the movie is trying to get you to subscribe to a newsletter, IIRC. It does raise some good points, but I believe that students are ultimately responsible for making their own choices. There is no way in hell I would go into debt for more than $100,000 to go to college. I pay for everything out of pocket. It is taking me a long time to finish my degree as a result, but I am not going into debt to pay for school.
