The Dwindling Power of a College Degree
#10
RE: The Dwindling Power of a College Degree
Quote:A lot of it boils down to the choice of degree you do,

Here we agree, Adrian. The downside is that information is growing at such a rate that any degree one chooses risks being obsolete in short order. Still, without a degree it is almost impossible to attract any interest at all.

I was just watching an interview with the CEO of Siemens ( some greedy corporate fuck...you'd love him) who was maintaining that his company is having trouble recruiting skilled workers even for their manufacturing plants. IOW, while there are millions of unemployed manufacturing workers their skills from an automotive assembly line or whatever are of literally no value to a high tech company. How does one re-train an entire workforce? And, as you said, what the hell do we do with the ones who did take English? Or psychology? Or whatever?
