To be fair, the price of education, as the medical field, is conflated and inflated. Gaining knowledge and skills isn't that hard. And certifying said skills and knowledge shouldn't be hard either.

But instead, we have a system where people pay money for a worthless piece of paper, and learn nothing.

On top of this, you can already get into most community colleges for free. Just don't take on any student loans. As the education is free, as for your living expenses. That's on you.
