Not sure why "Science" and "Math" are immediately assumed to be vocations. They are just as much ways of thinking as any humanity.

Math and science are explanations. Humanities are explorations. The former emphasizes objectivity, the latter is the pursuit of empathy.
-
Exploration is the purpose of math and science. Everything departs from a question.
-
But, the purpose is to explain what we see. Humanities are to explore what we feel without ever truly "defining" that human experience.
-
Science and math have to have an answer. Humanities don't. The distinction is necessary, but the piece might not do the best job with it.
-
I don't see why math and science have to have an answer any more than the humanities. They all seek truth and none arrives at it very often.

Being able to actually do something and have an actual skill after you graduate isn't the worst idea in the world.

Sad editorial & plays into mean myths/alt-right views about 'elites'. College education is desirable & attainable. Like society, it changes.

It's not attainable for about half the country.

BS-Student loans flow like water bc they're non dischargeable in bankruptcy. The actual hindrance are parents who enable victim mindset.

It's not just money. You still have to actually get in. If you go to a nice high school that may be trivial, but for many Americans it's not

I went to a shitty high school. I went to technical colleges after that, for years. Finished my JD at 32. Stop creating victims.

I'm not creating victims I'm pointing out a system where every citizen has to spend 4 years and 100k taking philosophy classes isnt scalable

The reason your degree is worth the paper it's printed on is because it differentiates you from those who don't have one.

Guess what happens if everyone gets one
