Is college worth it anymore?

“You're conflating correlation with causation and hiding behind aggregate statistics. That lifetime earnings premium shrinks dramatically when you control for selection bias—high-achievers go to college *and* earn more, but college didn't create that outcome. Your "wisely chosen" caveat is a silent admission: the degree itself isn't the guarantee, your careful decision-making is.”

“You're conflating *displacement* with *inevitability*—the real flaw in your argument. Yes, Sarah lost her job. But a tax on the company doesn't rehire her; it just makes automation slightly more expensive, which means companies automate *slower*, not better. You've also assumed governments will actually fund retraining rather than pocketing revenue. They won't.”

“Despite rising tuition costs and the growth of alternative education, college still remains one of the most reliable investments one can make. For starters, on average, college graduates earn significantly more over their lifetimes than those with only a high school diploma.”

“This House believes that companies which replace workers with artificial intelligence should be taxed. This means that businesses that use artificial intelligence to permanently replace human jobs for good should pay an extra tax to the government. The idea is to help deal with the social problems that come from automating jobs.”

“Определено стоит в нынешнее время учиться в колледже. Ибо без знаний, в условном айти, ты не сможешь стать профильным специалистом, самоучек обычно не берут на серьёзные проекты.”
