Vermont

I applied there long ago, but the major was eliminated as I applied.

Education is due for a streamlining. Forty years ago a degree, especially a graduate degree, meant a career edge. Now degrees are a dime a dozen.

Technical skills, business skills, ability to feed the bottom line are all that matters.

Higher ed has been fed and fed with government supported loans, endowments, alumni fund-raising. Building and renovations make campuses able to attract applicants. I just wonder if education took a back seat in some sense.

I suspect 4 years at McDonald's and wise investments in super growth companies, the Amazons of tomorrow would far exceed the value of most bachelor's degrees today. Financially anyway.
