Comment on Will Dropouts Save America?

Comments

I'm optimistic that future students will be more curious about entrepreneurship. Their disillusioned older brothers and sisters with graduate degrees will report back to them from the job front. There is an educational arms race that has caused the bar for degree and GPA requirements to be raised for many professional jobs. Folks are being squeezed to less rewarding jobs. And I'm already seeing a shifting mindset about the safety and inevitability of a good career after grad school.

As schools see their post-grad employment and salary figures drop, they will come around on what makes good preparation for life in the future job market.
