Is the ROI of a college eduction plummeting because of AI, outsourcing, and sky-high debt?

We don’t know the ceiling on artificial intelligence. Are we bottle-necked 1x, 2x, or 50+x from here? How long until we reach AGI? People go into six figures debt for degrees, including in traditionally high ROI fields like engineering, and still struggle to land a job. If things keeps scaling like this, we’ll have shift to UBI. At the very least, we may be breaking away from STEM dominance (sorry to say as someone who feels like they’re only good at learning science and math). I think different skills will becoming more valuable, and they’ll be hands-on trades and skills not taught in schools. If you were college-aged at this time, would you go?
