Overnight Open Thread (22 Nov 2013)

Marketing Higher Education

Heh. Just how should they market higher education?

Over the past decade or two, the marketing of higher ed has been to sell it as a financial investment. Of course, financial investments are about supply and demand, and when the supply goes up and demand goes down, the proud grads with their marketing-inflated grades are SOL.

If they want to market higher ed to the masses, they need to either market as adolescent sex resorts as Club Ed, or as an opportunity be become a citizen who is more deeply rooted in their culture. I suspect the former, "the college experience", sells better to the youth.

Of course, here are the highest paying jobs that don't require a high school diploma.
