The concept of credential inflation has pissed me off ever since I learned it

If college being free for everyone would make a college education worthless you are blatantly admitting a college education exists to be a class gateway

I have two things to say for this as someone living in a country with free university/college education: credential inflation doesn’t happen, and college teaches skills that are necessary for many professions and isn’t just a “class gateway”. When it costs it is a class gateway, yes. When you have no income during the years you spend at school it is a class gateway. On its own it’s not.
