A liberal education is great, but you don't need to attend an obsolete, inflexible university and pay through the nose to get one.
Ask yourself this question: If, after you finish your college program, you will not receive proof of having obtained a degree, would you still pay tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars for your "education"? I suspect, for most people, the answer is no.
So we have two functions here:
1) Education
2) Credentialing
We should think about them individually instead of just pretending they're the same.
