Education is general has gotten dumbed down with time. I dropped out of college almost 20 years ago and am almost finished with my degree after returning.

The difference between then and now is staggering. The mentality is if you can't make people smarter just lower the standards.

The reality is perhaps the top 15% of the US population by IQ should be receiving a college education. The rest is just credentialism and a waste of societal resources.
