The problem is that the HR departments want X years in specific technology.
That's why it's pointless to talk to HR departments until you've already spoken to the hiring manager, and he calls them in to deal with the paperwork of hiring you.
Look, you want education to be cheaper? You need to increase the competition for education.
That's part of the problem, but the far bigger part of the problem is shifting the risk of student loan default to the taxpayers. This makes banks willing to make loans without any realistic assessment of whether the borrower will ever make good on the load, and the ability to borrow distances the student from realizing the actual costs they're signing up for.
Abolish government interference in education, and the market will sort it out within five years.
I don't agree that college/university should be free. It should be really cheap.
It was, and then government got involved and uncoupled the price from student's ability to pay. With the advances in technology we've had over the last four decades, college should be cheaper than ever, but for far too many kids, the price is decades of debt.
Society benefits from having an educated workforce
How are you defining "educated"? A whole lot of student loans today are pissed away on bullshit like "gender studies" and other ivory-tower circle-jerks that do nothing at all to make the idiots who indulge in them any more employable.
It's as simple as that.

The biggest problem with C is that it doesn't have strings or arrays. C has pointers, which appear to the naive programmer to be an adequate substitute for arrays, because C's syntax can make pointers appear to be arrays. The upshot of this has been decades of memory-corrupting errors, resulting in crashes, security breaches, etc, etc.
Even in expert hands, C code is fragile. In the future, it will be taught as an historical example of slipshod, primitive language and compiler design.
The largest storage users are, if anything, more price-sensitive than consumers are when it comes to $/terabyte. I would expect Intel to introduce this technology at prices similar to Flash memory, and for it to fall according to the Moore's law curve, just like any other semiconductor product.
for most of the 1000+ year history of universities, the assumption was that getting a degree was also about "broadening one's mind" and acquiring a breadth of skills that may be useful in various ways.
And for most of that history, universities were for the gentry and the clergy, not for people who actually had to make any worthwhile contribution to their fellow man.

Randomizing memory isn't a panacea. It helps, but if you can escalate local privilege, you can still go looking for whatever you want to modify.

your understanding of C++ is insufficient.
You know, that's what people have told me about Scientology, Communism, and Christianity, too. Still not buying it.

as long as you use an appropriate subset
That's what we call "C".
The only think C++ has going for it is the fact that you don't have to use it all.

"Social Justice" is a bullshit buzzword used to rationalize racial or gender discrimination, just like "affirmative action".
There is no dichotomy between "social justice" and individual justice, because "social justice" doesn't exist.

I would say that it persists primarily because of all the C++ coders who are so proud of their knowledge of C++'s idiotic idiosyncrasies.

Compared to C++, C is a clumsy anachronism. ...and C++ is an appallingly bad attempt to remedy some of C's problems by layering on needless complexity.
