Ten left-leaning lessons from *The Case Against Education*:http://econlog.econlib.org/archives/2018/04/leftist_lessons.html …

I look in software, where the rise of 10-week "bootcamps" have created legitimate credentialing competition to a 4-year degree, and wonder what else is coming, and when it does, how the signal of a 4-year degree changes.
The payment model for some of these bootcamps (pay nothing until you have a job, sometimes even explicitly a tech job or a job with a fairly high minimum salary) is probably the most important aspect for updating on signaling models & the most positive aspect for students

Getting accepted for a University program is clearly not a strong enough signal, but getting accepted for a program that will lose substantial money if you are not a hirable person by the end of it seems plausibly stronger than even a degree

I also just like the feedback loop created when employers are looking for signals given by credential-givers & credential-givers are starting to look for signals weighted strongly by employers. Not sure that's a good thing, but oh boy fun
