    @Atul_Gawande @Reddy A lot of employers require college degrees for many jobs for no good reason. It's just a way to screen applicants.

        @Atul_Gawande I commend you, but I think we need to encourage more education (informal or formal, w/ or w/o degrees), rather than less.

        @Atul_Gawande good for you. Academic arms race is leaving people with non academic skills out of caring/ listening/ practical jobs.

        @Atul_Gawande @RodneyWarner "There is dignity in all work done well." Yet US society looks on those w/o college degrees as inadequate.

        @Atul_Gawande it's called "self weeding garden" in economics (or Freakonomics, always get the two mixed up)
