We should be focused on seeing the Troy campus get to 10,000 and shut down all the satellites. I was at a health fair at the Dothan campus this week and I have no idea what the purpose of this facility is. That property is worth millions and is nothing more than a JUCO with an empty parking lot. I was there 4 hours and saw zero students. If its purpose is school at night, and it’s going well then clearly I’m in the wrong.

Put on your tinfoil hats and remember that the Dothan campus as well as our main campus are built with government (taxpayer) money. This means there need not be a reason or a profitable end.

Now that I have read the article. Young folks are being told that a degree is a bad investment. They calculate the cost of a degree and the student loans that follow them to the grave against potential earnings and opt out. I have 3 degrees and make a good salary working for a company. My salary is nowhere near what two of my wealthiest friends make working for themselves without multiple degrees. One friend does have a BS from Troy, and he cleans dryer vents. He makes much more money than I do. My second friend has no degree and he sells and installs window blinds. He also invested in rental properties and is now a multi millionaire at age 50.
College is overpriced and the cost is not based on return on investment. For example, a nursing student at Troy and a liberal arts student pay the same, but one graduate has earning potential more than the other.
College is broken and kids are starting to see that it can quickly go from an investment to a scam.

The jobs that are required to maintain society from a mechanical and physical sense are a real premium. College was a good idea when about 10-15% went to college. Then we started pushing it to 40%. Not worth it and expansion into ridiculous degrees and glut in others has resulted in a simple economics lesson. We were simply slow to learn it.

Most people know this, but I dropped out of Troy after three failing quarters and never took another college course. College is not for everyone, hard work goes a long way and we need more electricians, plumbers, mechanics and HVAC people.

That would be great. In Dothan, Wallace CC does this.
