So true. Although I'd argue (from my admittedly limited experiences with school bureaucracy) that it's been a broken system for a long damn time. The only difference is, now places don't have that cushion of cash/goodwill/wealthy parents whose kids MUST HAVE A DEGREE AT ANY COST to offset the inherent inefficiencies. There are a number of reasons I got fed up and quit after three years, and none of them had to do with the actual "schooling" part. :)
