When you get down to it, pretty much ALL of higher education is overpriced shit. In four years I will have two kids in college and will likely fork out well over $150K for each so they can...take their rightful places in soul-sucking jobs sitting in cubicles in front of computer screens with telephone headsets on, asking customers if they want to "upgrade" something for an additional $49.<br /><br />So, law school is just the tip of the massive Texas-sized iceberg that is the higher education SCAM. College tuition has increased exponentially in the past 20 years while the quality of the output has diminished. While students and their families leverage their future to pay for worthless degrees, universities keep hiring administrators and retaining faculty members who spend their days spewing ideology instead of actually teaching useful concepts.<br /><br />I have a friend from high school who is a professor in economics at a private university. Oh, he teaches a few classes and gets his grad-students to do the gruntwork for whatever he's working on to publish. But, despite his grueling schedule, he has plenty of time to run a property management business and provide expert testimony for plaintiffs' attorneys in personal injury lawsuits. So he gets an income and benefits that are paid for by the university's students and laughs all the way to the bank because he really spends most of his time on whatever he sees fit.<br /><br />The truth is, most of the available white-collar jobs now shouldn't require an expensive four-year university education. Four years of college to get a degree in "communications" or "marketing" or English Lit, so you can sell cars or work as a assistant manager at Best Buy? I live in a provincial city here in Texas where local leaders make a huge deal about "economic development" whenever they lure some firm into town that offers exciting opportunities schlepping packages, cutting up chickens, or waiting on tables. A few years back, they were so proud to bring in a big managed care firm because it offered "white collar" jobs for college grads. It was basically a big-ass call center with huge rooms full of cubicles where these lucky bastards could toil away, being monitored by supervisors and chided whenever they needed to go to the restroom.<br /><br />It's time for the mandatory four-year degree to be a thing of the past. It's time for a revolt against not only the law schools, but ALL of the academic-industrial complex!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2363936253583148153.post-8336359942844762412017-08-26T15:19:39.418-07:002017-08-26T15:19:39.418-07:00Dear Class of 2020:
