no ever called college a scam until after the 2008-10 financial crises where people were having trouble getting work and paying the student loans off... then the ones who couldn't go or were too lazy to go and had a chip on their shoulder tried to play it off as them being smart instead...  this is why student loan forgiveness is a must. it was never the student's fault the corporations changed their budgets and got cheap on an entire generation that was already in the pipeline getting these degrees to qualify for work for corporations that would go bankrupt before they could get to those jobs.
