    The Federal Government is moving to require universities to publish debt and earnings by major. I cannot wait to see the carnage that will soon be made public.

        Because all education should be measured by vocational outcomes. I suppose I should have majored in hedge fund management then, as perhaps we all should have done.

        You're right, we should all take out $100k in loans we can't bankrupt our way out of with no sense of the return on investment

        yes. because education should be as much about process as content. the best software designers and programmers i know all have degrees in the humanities because they were taught how to think, not just some rote vocational instruction.

        And? Pushing more people out of the humanities is detrimental to society. The fix for student debt isn’t “everyone should have a STEM degree” it’s the systemic issues of the cost of higher education and political actions that have raised its cost.

        I wonder what it would cost to get an English degree from a lambda type school. What’s the average salary of a great English prof?

        Replying to @drbillnye

        Say they’re $100k. You have 1 professor for 25 students. = $4k/student/yr, so $1333/semester for raw cost. Say you want v healthy margins and a TA or two, call it $2500/semester.

        The cool thing about lambda doing something liberal artsy is it would be more Oxford style education than Arizona state style. It’d be easy to make better English majors. You may struggle building a career path initially, but still, it could be cool

        The carnage wrought by self satisfied hacks who think you can measure educational outcomes by compensation statistics? Any teachers in your family? Any charity workers? Get bent.

        His entire family is full of teachers. And what he's proposing would help teachers and social workers the most. It does not require $100,000 of debt for teachers and social workers to learn what they need to - many of them learn on the job most of all.

        I think you know this. What I can say with surety is that he is too much of a coward to say it himself, or to own what he said in the first place. That tweet disappeared didn’t it?

        What tweet? The original one? No, it's up. I think it's clear that he thinks this, because that's his entire schtick. I only regurgitated what he's said multiple times. He blocked you because you told him to get bent. 🤷‍♂️
