The European system with higher income tax and heavily subsidised universities practically has the same result. Anyone (that is a permanent resident) can go to a top school, but you're paying it back the 40 years after with 50%+ income tax if you get a good job.
- scotty79 6y agoNot really, because universities don't care if what the teach is useful in the job market because they get money from tax either way.
- t0mas88 6y agoBut just having any MSc / MA is greatly helping job market prospects, because every degree includes at the very least an understanding of scientific methods and statistics, and should have given you some critical thinking skills. For a lot of jobs having some kind of degree is a generic requirement without specifying in which field.
- scotty79 6y agoSometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. Major complaint about paid US higher education is that for a lot of fields and universities what you get from them in the job market is less than tuition, often it's pretty much nothing. Not to mentioned yearsbof your life you've put into it. I think it's absolutely wonderful idea to align interests of educational institution with your value in the job market after you finish it.
