Entry: The Great Education Bubble Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/the_great_education_bubble#26020 Post contents: Much of the emphasis on higher education rests on the tendency of many employers to not want to train their own employees. Also, degrees still give some notion of competence in the hiring process where the slightest misstep can result in a law suit. If businesses were more open to things like apprenticeship programs and internships, the need for overly expensive higher education could be minimized. The most important change in higher education in the U.S. is the rise of the community college. Here, one can learn most everything necessary for career change in an atmosphere where the faculty are generally practitioners of their craft, and are rewarded by classroom performance, not useless articles in obscure academic journals.
