> “In many cases, young people have been sent off to universities for worthless degrees which have produced nothing for them at all,” the political commentator, journalist and author, Peter Hitchens slammed colleges last week. If humanities or social science degrees are now (economically) worthless, it would be interesting to examine why. Have universities failed to make courses of study intellectually challenging? Are students cheating their way through? Do employers no longer understand the value of employees who are skilled at reading, writing, and critical thinking? It looks like the most popular non-professional track degrees in the UK are Psychology, Economics, and History. Is it not useful to have employees who have some understanding of how people think, feel and interact, how money and markets work, or how and why things happen over time?
