It is a privilege to attend college and learn there. It exists on a different plane than strictly meeting job requirements; I think it is unfortunate when people reduce it to merely that. Young people are under a lot of pressure and these statements may just be venting. That being said, it is a privilege that is getting very expensive for many people.

If the claim is that all of the knowledge can be gained online, I will counter that is the difference between popular-ABC and real-ABC for any given subject ABC. The college forces you to round out your skill set into subjects you might otherwise ignore.
