1960’s is when we changed our immigration laws. Pretty shocking news doesn’t lead with this story.

In the 1960s, most high school graduates didn’t go to college. Today about half do.
Why do they go? Because you will earn more money if you have a college degree.
Leaving aside the professions and ‘hard’ subjects – medicine, law, engineering, science, mathematics – what is it about a college degree that employers want? What did someone’s degree in feminist anthropology actually do for them, to make them employable?
Answer: nothing. The degree is signal to employers that you are willing to sit still, take orders, that you can sort-of read, and write. The actual content of degrees in history, philosophy, social science, etc are of little interest to employers.
This has all been brilliantly explained in a book by Bryan Caplan: The Case Against Education: Why the Education System Is a Waste of Time and Money
[ https://www.amazon.com/The-Case-Against-Education-audiobook/dp/B07BH3S9DQ ]
If you haven’t been to college yet, by all means go! You’ll benefit from having that signal. And if you’re actually interested in anthropology or philosophy or psychology, etc … you’ll probably enjoy learning about these subjects.
But the huge costs of higher education are largely wasted. If we closed down all the non-professional and non-technical degrees – just leaving math, science, engineering, law, medicine – it would not hurt the country’s economy one bit.
