The Anus of the Annoying
In bad times, for some students graduate school has always been used as a hedge, a place to hide out until times get better.
However, the strategy doesn’t work when the country’s leadership is actually committed to not improving things. But preserving the status quo.
And this is just being an asshole for the sake of it:
Grad school has become a socially acceptable way to drink beer, read, and go into massive debt in your 20s.
This in a piece on how “education” is the next bubble.
Now, let me get this right. Everyone’s flocking to graduate school because the loans are sub prime and universities are the new Wall Street, cross-collaterizing and over-leveraging everything.
Which one of the deans is Jamie Dimon? And who is the government’s new Alan Greenspan?
