Exactly. This is why the free market is so incredibly important. When I read this article, I also thought of the exchanges that Chris Christie had with teachers in New Jersey. The one made $86,000 per year plus premium healthcare and pension benefits for 9 months of work and thought she deserved more because she had her teaching degree and her job was “important” in her mind. If the market doesn’t determine your salary, political pressure will.
College education is not all that its cracked up to be. I’m not going to say its worthless but it could be a lot better. The rot is hidden by the fact that there are so many subsidies for college that its easy for people to go and waste time there learning irrelevant things.
Oh. For a degree higher than a piled higher and deeper, maybe they can verify that the candidate actually KNOWS something of value.
Or maybe they could fix our institutions of higher education which have been driven into a ditch by prosecuting a large portion of academia for malpractice. “Pontificating while deluded.”
