There are signs that there wouldn't be a glut of college grads if companies and government were hiring for more positions and at a brisker pace, but they're not.

Neither would there be a glut if we all owned Star Trek food synthesizers, but we don't.
That would put millions out work.
That would be a good thing.

We all know what really goes down in that holodeck :perv:

Which is so problematic. :x
:unsure: Why?
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Maybe you could give the computer an amorphous lump of organic matter to meld into the proper shape.  :hmm:

Still unseemly.

How puritanical.

That's unnecessary Wiggins, the holodeck isn't just a trick of light, it feels real.

Frankly, I'm more interested in seeing kids not need college for all the bullshit jobs requiring it that really only need literacy.

That poor girl running the coffee wagon didn't need to waste all that time and money in crappy classes.

I mean, it's good to stop loading everyone up with debt, but the college shit has to go. Start working at 18.

How is it different from porn? I can't imagine you're in favor of banning that.

So what?

Do you mean so what in the sense of fuck private universities and the people that attend them, or so what in the sense that you didn't catch the public university qualifier in the Atlantic piece you linked?
There are countries that fund public universities in this way and people are still willing there to pay to go to prestigious private universities. Why would it be different here?

Attending a private American university was easier for me than attending a Spanish one, here's that. But the Spanish university system isn't really much to praise the lord for.

And given the declining need for labor anyway, delaying more people entering the workforce is not really a bad thing.

Based on what I heard on NPR, apparently the "work for it" part is getting good grades in HS.
