“Things he can’t actually do for $800?”

OTOH, lets say he could.

Taking a bunch of money from one elite college and distributing it to dozens (hundreds?) of working class schools all over the country?

I thought he hated socialism…

    As an office IT guy, a vast majority of office jobs could be done by nearly anyone. If they just stopped requiring a college degree to do those jobs and trained people, I think the vast majority of office work will be done

    That being said, HR would rather import people with H1Bs, drastically under pay them, and create another layer of class division but separating themselves from the brown people offices to work at the new executive offices or do full WFH forever then admit a college degree was always a class tax to move from working to might class.

      Oh, I thought it’s just Russia’s problem that everyone requires a bullshit degree to, I dunno, clean PCs and reinstall Windows

        That’s so much of IT. They’re paying for me to get a degree but I already have the job. So it’s obvious it’s just a status symbol.
