Am hearing that Brentwood, prestigious private school in LA, is in chaos after almost zero white seniors got into to UC schools.

per UC 2017 overall 4-year graduation rates are 72.6%; with 60% for blacks

When I was still living in California, my coworkers who had high-school graduating children would tell stories of guidance counsellors advising parents to send their children to community college for two years and then transfer to UC after the quota students dropped out.

I'm sure it's only gotten worse since then.

It is just a way for liberals to protect their economic advantage by excluding other white men, but accepting POC’s, most of whom will not graduate.

I wrote this piece in 2020 from the perspective of college graduates not being able to pay off their expensive university degrees.


I believe the problem is that universities are putting out a product that there is no demand for.

I believe it's a three-fold issue.

  1. The job market isn't paying the salaries.
  2. The students aren't pursuing the marketable degrees.
  3. The universities are cranking out graduates without regard to whether the job market is there for the graduates. In other words, they are graduating buggy whips.
The causes for #1 are two-fold:

  1. The jobs are being off-shored to lower-cost geographies.
  2. The cheaper workers are being imported via H-1B visas and are displacing our graduates.
The causes for #2 are two-fold:

  1. The students are choosing social-justice degrees with no anchoring in reality.
  2. The K-12 schools are socially promoting students who either aren't ready for college or are better suited to trade studies.
The causes for #3 are two-fold:

  1. The students have been socially indoctrinated to believe the only way to succeed is with a college degree, so everyone must now go to college.
  2. The change to government-sponsored student loans has made it easy for universities to pad their enrollments in order to get the funding to sustain their tenures and research programs.
I believe that if there is a market balance between supply and demand then the price paid will equal the cost plus profit. If the universities were balancing the supply of graduates with the demand for graduates, this would mean that the graduates were being paid a salary that allowed them to pay off their loans plus their living expenses.

The fact is that the university degree market is completely unbalanced and out of whack. Young students may be making good decisions to pursue a degree, but many are too uninformed at that age to understand that the universities are glutting the market right now. The universities have built up a capital investment in professors and manufactured an inventory of graduates that can't be sold.

The university result will eventually be the same as a business selling unwanted products: their inventory of unsold graduates will lose their value (in terms of alumni donations, university brand reputation, etc.), and the university might eventually go out of business if they can't get new student enrollments because the word is out that their graduates are unemployable.

Is all of this the fault of the student loan scam? Is it the result of students making bad career decisions? Is it the fault of businesses that are looking for cheaper workers or exporting jobs? Is it the fault of universities hungry for students flush with loan cash that they keep taking them in regardless of the ability of the job market to absorb the graduates?


As you pointed out, hiring businesses will stop recruiting from schools that fail to match the market demand with degreed future workers.

Correct; “cowed” is an adjective. However, the post used the word “kowtowed” as a transitive verb.

Thanks. I don’t have Roku, and haven’t seen it on my streaming provider.

When his father came to the door, the captain fell to his hands and knees and tapped his forehead on the ground until his father came and raised him. When he went down, I thought he had tripped and almost tried to catch, but I didn't.

That's a great story! Travel really does broaden your perspective.

I might add that later, I accompanied the ROK captain to a family funeral in Seoul. When the captain and his father met, they shook hands. The kowtow might have had something to do with a son returning home to his father after a long absence.
