I think the disconnect is more about education versus connections
The $50,000 you are paying each year to go to Harvard is not about a better education than going to Weber State, but about being connected to those in power to get you the highest paying jobs at the positions that you would qualify for after said education.

This system however is coming to a head. It's not about how much it cost but how truly valuable is the Brotherhood of networks that exist today.

Access to information is at an all-time high in terms of anyone anywhere getting information of any kind and because of that people are more aware of the value of what they have which means why spend $40,000 when I could literally get the same information I need without spending a dime.

Once this continues on for probably another decade or so we'll probably see a huge revamp "creative destruction" as it were in the education system.

Those networks will still continue, the brotherhood's and sisterhood's will still be there but it won't have the power as it has had in past years in preventing those who with directional state university degrees from not only getting a good job but having a real shot at top earnings in their career field.
