It's a fair point. I think it's a little more nuanced than that, though.

Two of my kids are in college now. One is in her senior year. No, it's not like before. But she's there, she's taking most classes on-line, but there is still campus activity. The other one is in grad school. Same thing. She's there. She goes to campus. She has met people and within their bubble socialize.

I would not chalk up getting a graduate quant. degree at a top-tier school as something you could just get on Google. That's fun to say but not at all realistic.

As for me and mine, we will assume COVID is going to pass and that life will continue and that an education is still worth having. If it's apocalypse, then my bad and Dave can tell me I'm wrong. If I'm right, then people sitting around arguing about whether it's worth it just lost a year or two of their progress in life.

The destruction of the miseducation system in western nations is one of the bright spots of the Convid 1984 Plandemic. Less people attending, sports arenas closed, deprives these institutions of the money they need to continue to operate like usual. As the primary incubators of the Neo Marxist/Neo Nazi philosophy that currently pervades the tyrannical governments of the United States, Great Britain, Western Europe, Australia, etc., their media apparatuses and tech companies, it is poetic justice to watch them suffer.
