$250,000 degrees are long term investments. But what happens if the planned income to justify them isn't there in the 2030s and 2040s? If corporate America is happy to hire people with $10,000 degrees, is there any point in going for an equivalent degree at 25 times the price?

As the AI jobs apocalypse seems to have already started for college graduates, this question has now become urgent reality, not future hypothetical.

    My wife and I have squandered small fortunes on unused degrees in higher education. If someone comes along and makes degrees more affordable, I'll celebrate with a bottle of champagne I can't afford.
