It’s very interesting. I was hoping when Penn and Teller did their bullshit episode on College, they would focus more on this than political correctness stuff. The older I get the more convinced I become that college is for doctors, engineers, teachers and other highly specialized career fields. Generic liberal arts degrees are such a waste of time, I mean Human Development? What the fuck is that? Clearly it’s not a medical thing. Is that like teaching pre-school or something?
It was originally an episode or two from Free Talk Live, the 16th and 17th of February episodes that I thought I’d do some Googling about this. They were talking about how colleges turn out 37,000 history majors for 500 available historian jobs. Ian said “You don’t start to make a million dollars by going $100,000 in debt.” I think that if you graduate from high school and don’t know what to do, just go to work until you figure out what you want to do. It will probably not require a four year degree. And you’ll be in a better place financially since you won’t have to spend money on college. I think it’s just such a lie to tell everyone they have to go to a college right out of high school to be successful.
Also a bit of irony that John Stossel, a man who graduated from Princeton and Dr. Marty Nemko, clearly are both in their current professions because they went to college and it seems both are doing well. And both of them are slamming college too…..
