The Value of Higher Education

Found this little snippet on Andrew Sullivan, but it comes from Felix Salmon:

I think it’s fair to say that going to journalism school increases your chances of getting a job in journalism. If J-school graduates are almost by definition financially naive — if they weren’t financially naive they’d never have spent so much money on J-school — then maybe J-school is only serving to increase the number of innumerates working in journalism. Which is a sobering thought.

They don't know nuthin' bout History, either. Nor much about the English language.

But I'd take this more seriously if Salmon didn't look so much Lille that kid two semesters ago I had to flunk for not doing the assignments.
