Nah... They teach you how to 'leech' off the welfare state efficiently
(with a California State University ag degree YOU could be a welfare
rancher for a living or...)

See this image from a UC paper

Food Stamps being pushed by the Regents for UC students.

Later, when they find out they'll never get a job with that EXPENSIVE
pig... sheepskin... that pays down that diploma, and they end up order
picking at an Amazon warehouse with a tracking wristband, or
telemarketing the refinancing of student loans ... to other ex-student
suckers like themselves, at least they'll know how to get food stamps.🤣
