Nah. Colleges are collapsing. Not enough kids. Go check out Ohio state university’s situation. In about 4 years they won’t have enough kids to cover operating expenses. That’s straight from the Department of Higher Ed. They built and built and sucked up all the money they could and now millennials have aged out and most the next gen doesn’t want to go to school because of costs and even if they did, whoops! There’s not enough of them.

Boy, you’d think some of those college educated people would have, I don’t know, modeled some of this and analyzed it before they sold their parking for a billion bucks that they promptly and entirely spend on extra dorms they now can’t fill.

So no, you are using outdated data. The fact is demand around the country is plummeting for schools. This is straight from the department of higher ed in Ohio.

As for global demand, it’s not the eductions it’s the chance to get citizenship. Someone with analysis skills like you must have a degree.
