NO academic barrier? Pure BS.
Because consider what the facts actually are -which contradict your claims:
Although it's not actually harder to get into at least some college
somewhere than before, it has become much more competitive than before
as to where you can get in:
"Why Has College Admissions Become So Competitive? : It Used to be
Simple...But Not Anymore"
http://www.education.com/reference/article/why-college-admissions-competitive/
And on top of that, there is no falling sky - the whole world is
clamoring more than ever to get into higher education in the US and
the graduates it turns out at the undergraduate and especially
graduate levels are still getting the job done when they get hired and
so on. This Chicken Little act is getting boring.
