This is where these critiques often go wrong in my opinion. There's no mention of what was learned, what value was gained over that time, because I highly doubt it was nothing. As you mention, there is an aspect of project management in making a film. You have to write a film, you have to select roles for your film, you have to delegate tasks. There are all kinds of soft skills that are learned in the completion of any degree program, and people usually take them for granted because they never studied for that specific thing, their project management skills were never tested directly.
- coldpie 4y agoThe scam is in convincing (very young) people that they need to pay six figures to acquire those experiences.
- mitchdoogle 4y agoYes, I think that's the real problem. There is definitely value in college education, but the cost is way too high.
- lotsofpulp 4y agoThe scam is giving six figure loans to very young people with no underwriting at the future taxpayers’ expense. Without that, schools would not be able to charge excessively in the first place.
