Entry: The Great Education Bubble Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/the_great_education_bubble#26081 Post contents: In many ways college has becomes what high schools was for much of the last century, a place where middle class can use its diploma to get into the job pool. There are simply not enough jobs where a high school education or GED is enough to get by anymore, not if you want a middle class lifestyle. So instead of college being an intellectual community it becomes vocational and research community, because that's where the money is. Steve Berg is right that if we had more apprenticeships and business training for students, we can restore the proper balance and return the college and university system back into what it was orginally intended to become.
