CMV: Not everyone could/should go to university

There’s a big movement, especially among more left leaning liberals that higher education should be free and/or is a right. While it’s not doubt true that Education is an incredible tool for social mobility (and what I believe is the key for POC to rise up in this country), it is not feasible for everyone to go to university.

There is already a shortage of jobs in many majors. Particularly in the liberal arts, arts, and even some considered useful majors are struggling. If everyone is encouraged to go to college, and major in what they want to study, there will be an influx of educated people who do not use their degree at all. This is already the case, there are lots of women who go to college and end up becoming housewives. While it is their choice to make, when they state gets involved with paying tuition, I am pretty concerned with which majors are chosen. 

Along the same vein, every person going into Computer Science is not feasible either. One of the greatest issues of our time is that the new industries that are creating the most new wealth (tech) are not employing that many people. It would be absurd to tell all the truck drivers to go “learn to code”. 

At the end of the day, working class jobs will always be necessary. It depends on the industry, but many jobs will take a while to being automated. And young kids learning trades like becoming an electrician or plumber are very respectable careers. 

Lastly, I look at the history of colleges, and what colleges provide, and realize that this is not an experience that everyone needs to have. College is almost utopian, it’s an intellectual safe space that pays for the free gym, free pool, pays for expensive and absurdly large instruments for the marching band, and pays for the debate team to fly across the country. Colleges used to be exclusive to the rich and über wealthy, so this level of funding and utopian luxuries make sense. But it’s far removed from reality, and is not necessary for all regular people to experience, and certainly not one that government should pay for.

Regarding the first point, there's a pretty important distinction between "higher education should be free", and "higher education is a right". Namely, the first doesn't necessarily entail trying to get *everyone* in.

Universities still have a limited number of spots. You can only cram so many people into a lecture hall before it becomes a safety hazard. An admissions process could still exist, and weed out people who aren't cut out for certain programs.
