For 4 (Your college degree is probably worthless): is the purpose of college to get a job or to learn? The traditional college curriculum is structured in a way that suggests it's the latter, yet we live in a society that expects the prior.

I'd argue that college is doing exactly what it always intended to do -- to create an environment of learning. The disconnect occurs because of how it markets itself. The focus on "job placement statistics" and "post college salaries" sends the wrong message to its customers.
