I get the feeling that a PhD is the only degree that a university should offer. All else is a money-grubbing scam that enslabes people in debt. Moreover, the PhD should be publicly funded or by donations. Regarding specialist degrees like MD and nursing, I think they too can be rolled into a PhD. It should take 5 to 8 years to complete after high school, and no more. Everything else can be learned on one's own.
