UMC parents have an inkling if they're connected. Maybe. In the big coastal cities, in tech, sure. Everyone else, no way. Universities have no incentive to publicize this. They're /delighted/ to take the tuition and lead a generation into debt slavery

And if you're not plugged into to get the lowdown on the True Path--if your last memory of college was out of the eighties--God forbid, if you never went to college yourself--there's no way you're going to be in a position to give good advice. But how would you know that?

I'm not sympathetic to children of the Upper West Side murdering each other for NYT internships, but they are not the median case. Median case is probably something like a gen 2 Hispanic kid burning his proud parent's life savings and taking debt for a worthless degree.

Do you think a 'Rona-induced re-evaluation of a college education will correct this notion in the collective consciousness? Or will it become even more important as part of a cursus honorum to comfortable upper-middle class life?

Honestly I’m one of those parents sending kids to college now and most of what I know is that making a living without a college degree sucks so hard. Realistically I know it’s worse to end up selling handbags with a crap ton of debt than without but... I live in hope

Best of luck. Honestly it's just impossibly hard to know what to do. -_-

Humans seem exceptionally bad at adjusting models for how things change over time Probably in part because changes are often invisible, and in part because the model was likely never complete to begin with I don't know that we have a solution for this

I graduated from a state University in 89 with a BA in English and a double minor in history and philosophy and never had trouble getting a job back then, even when moving across country and changing fields. It was a completely different world pre 9/11 & Iraq & 00's recession.
