The majority of college students are not studying something that falls into these categories though.

It is completely absurd we have not built an alternative, online liberal arts 4 year degree that basically cost nothing.

There is absolutely no reason this could not be done for less than $1k a year right now.

I suspect a large reason is because the people who benefit from the cartel, basically every professional educator, like things as is. The massive education inflation cost is a feature for the cartel, not a bug.
