American Education System is an elaborate financial scam

One more thing I've realized after living in US for 20 years: the American education system is largely an elaborate financial RUSE. What the masses don't seem to realize is that the main benefactors of American education are the SCHOOLS and the people who run them, ie the 0.01% who own everything in this country.

This is not to say that the schools have no benefit. Quite the contrary, they do have a lot of benefit. The >problem< is that they are severely and catastrophically overpriced.
I am not even going to mention all the University of Phoenix and DeVries, as it's clear that those institutions and mainly driven by profit. But, in fact, even the most prestigious American schools brainwash many people to believing they are the ultimate places to go to get educated (for a huge cost, of course).

The whole school ranking system is one elaborate brainwash. People are fooled into dreaming of attending Stanford or Harvard? In hopes of being next Google founder? It's another American pipe dream. The most likely consequence of attending college is huge financial debt. That's guaranteed. A job is not.

The whole "ranking system" that puts American schools at top of the world's list is bought and paid for. Since American schools collect an enourmous amount of money, they can influence the rankings. As always, it all centers around money.
