The US has proved it can do horizontal scaling, as the majority of adults gets a college degree.
The horizontal capacity is ineffectively used by having many degree mills and low-value degrees, but if we re-tooled the knowledge sets we could raise the bar.
- hx8 2mo agoI actually think of degree mills as being vertically scaled. Online courses, a lot of course work graded by computers, large classrooms, etc. As for the quality, I think small classrooms with good teachers probably produces a better outcome than large classrooms with great teachers.
- amanaplanacanal 2mo agoOnly about a third of US adults have a bachelor's degree or higher. Even if you count associates degrees it's still less than half.
- bonoboTP 2mo agoIf you filter for younger, 25-34, and for employed, it's closer to 50%. For employed young women, it's the majority (for them, if you count associate degrees, it shoots up close to 75%).
