After reading this article I have a lot of questions about the case studies they picked. Having two Masters degrees in a highly specific field is qualifying, yes, but it may be too niche for jobs in a particular geographic area. Were the individuals willing to move? It seems as though many job applicants are not considering relocation in their search.

Also the alternatives of creating a new product (board game) or offering a new service (helping companies automate sales and onboarding) shouldn’t be under-appreciated. Many people are going to take risks and offer new products and services. That actually grows the economy, vs. just seeking a salaried position.

College is just simply another form of privilege the rich can yet afford to invest in and come out looking better than anyone else could just desperately trying to make a better life and career for themselves.

college education had always been a trapping of the privileged class and i think this article is showing why; those who got a college education and need to work are having a bad time, while those who have a college education and don’t need to work are doing just fine.
