Don’t you just love it when other people write things that support your own conclusions? For a long time — since day 1 of my college teaching career in 1980 — I have thought that higher education in America has been terribly oversold. Too many kids go to college who are not interested in or prepared for serious intellectual work. They spend several years on campus, wasting a lot of their parents’ and taxpayers’ money and winding up (maybe) with a piece of paper that only signifies the completion of a certain number of credits.
On the JWR site today, Dr. Marty Nemko says that, yes, we do have too many college students. You can read what he has to say here.
