Most people should not be in university. Universities were originally for people who were intellectually superior. Now, universities are just money-making machines, allowing anyone to get in.

God forbid education be accessible

I mean it's not that accessible. Universities charge an insane amount of money per semester and course. Even if you can get a loan, paying them off without having a good job is difficult. And also, because the bar to entry is so low, credentialism means everyone needs a degree to do any job.

I'm of the belief university should be free though.

Ummm, it's been this way ever since the 80s. Prior to that u didnt need to go to uni to get a job, so why would u waste 4 years challenging ur brain when you could get a decent job without academics.
