Greybeard is correct. An undergrad degree for anything other than science or engineering is asympotically approaching a Wizard of Oz degree. (All political “science” types can look up the word “asymptote”.) Of course, the next step is govt sponsorshop of all college education, followed by govt jobs for the vast majority of graduates who have no discernable skill, followed by “equal rights” and “diversity” requirements so as to provide positions for those entirely incapable of producing income. Such is life. Remember, we already have provisions for the talentless: Rap, civil servants, and - most important - politics. (Common, think of ANYTHING that Gore could really do...)
If somebody thinks it might be neat to have an income of $50 million a year like those others who clearly aren’t really all that much smarter, they might take a look at what opens doors. Unless he is the son of an elite family already, he will have to take the graduate school route, and physics won’t get it done. Law is the road to success in America. But, get the grades in high school and then in college so you can get your way paid. Be a Corporate lawyer and all doors will open.
So why do I (as an engineering student) get labeled a bigot when I tell arts students that they won’t find jobs when they graduate? Dare I speak the truth?
But, but but --Bill Clinton said --Everyone that wants to go, should be able to to college....
AND- I think they are already by what I see/hear....
“Of course, the next step is govt sponsorshop of all college education, followed by govt jobs for the vast majority of graduates who have no discernable skill...”
This, of course, is where we get our brainless federal bureaucrats, excluding those involved in national security. They are completely counterintuitive, contribute nothing to society and needlessly harass productive businesses and citizens, all the while worshipping their god - the Marxist state - and molding society to serve big government.
I believe the founders completely covered the nature of the government leech in the Declaration of Independence.
Well, he may know the difference between "common" and "come on." :P
My daughter told me the same thing some years ago. A bachelor's degree is becoming about as worthless as the high school diploma. You need a masters, so, more and higher tuition and more bills at the end of it.
