Philosophical Debate #2: A One-Sided Debate Against College/University

THIS IS A ONE SIDED DEBATE AGAINST COLLEGE/UNIVERSITY

Points to ponder:
~We are naturally born to learn and be productive. Now see that: standard education, western medicine, religion, poverty, nutrition, culture/society and laws in support of: education, western med, religion, poverty, nutrition and  cultural/societal 'norms' impede natural, inborn processes to learn and be productive. 
~Illiteracy and censorship are forms of oppression. 
~To so many, college is synonymous to huge, long term debt that cannot be discharged<=>financial aid. This debt is derived at a time in life when consequences of choices are shrugged off, a college entrant is typically full of optimism, not a bad trait if the cards are stacked in your favor. If cards are not stacked in your favor, then you are additionally tempted to pay tribute to your credit rating with credit cards; to so, so many, this is strike two and this strike definitely includes many who even have the deck stacked in their favor.

There are two good attributes from college and they both come with buts:

The first is college sports; this promotes a ton of great attributes, >>but<< it seems to me that even college sports is going to the way of big business and detrimentally high pressure instead of playing because one loves the game and others like to cheer their teams on<=>school spirit.

The other place college excels at is social life<=>social intelligence, >>but<< is it really necessary to spend all that money for a social life?

In conclusion, the world has all ready had its fill of college/university. One can now go online and/or order from your closest library; just about any course from any college and in many, many cases do so free.
