I read every book in the library on the higher education crisis, in 2019. College does not lead to a job.

That means you need to choose the right major the first time, at age 18. If nobody hands you a job at 22, there are no do-over's.

I need a word (other than "mid") for the Thomas Sowell/econ talk/economist magazine/Brad DeLong category. In the shape of John D Cook’s "pronunciation of valet" example, or the bell curve meme with a doofus on the left and a Jedi on the right. "Seemingly erudite" doesn't cut.

Conservatives feelings are hurt. You should produce better work.

You get to be a kid once. The last time I pretended to be a cat was, when I was playing cats with my kid. Other than that it had been 30 years.

Why. Academics lead to, literally, nothing. Most jobs don't require more than a 5th grade education.

My kids are complaining that they don't get enough nap time or free playtime at school.

If you don't get a four-year degree, people can say you deserve to be poor because you're uneducated. If you do get a four-year degree, they will just reach for some other excuse.

College is now priced above what most families can afford. This will depress the number of graduates without connections, increasing the ROI on a degree, as we return to the historical role of inventing a game that rich people have an advantage at.

Sure, let's travel to Shenzhen China for an international welding competition. After which perhaps the winner should migrate to a place where things are produced, so s/he can get a job.

Studying math will make you smarter. Notice we didn't promise that anything good would happen to you or anyone around you. Just that you will be "smarter", in some sense.

If only police "studied the humanities", they would be better police. Substitute, for police, literally anything at all. "The humanities" can solve any and every problem.

There is a thing called "the humanities", and studying "it" will make you—indeed, anyone—a better person.

@marcportermagee Have you ever gone deeply into that (x,y) coordinate labelled "civil engineering"? Anecdotally it usually doesn't result in a job, but occasionally can lead into a field competing for big contracts.

@marcportermagee Speaking of lack of critical thinking, I hope we are not going to blindly retweet The Economist.

The reason to pay grad students decently isn’t because they “deserve” it, it’s because that’s the only way to get any degree of socioeconomic diversity in who enters academia

I'm a former Harvard PhD student. Based on my experience, current social science students probably make a bit over $250k + healthcare over 5 years, with just 784 hours of required TA work. That's almost $320/hour for the "work" and the rest is classes and your own research.
