We should have a pleasant planet in a couple decades if everyone follows this advice. /s
All of human progress up this point can be wiped out in a generation if it's not passed on to the new individuals in the world.
Seriously, how is this good advice? If anything we should be encouraging more people to teach their knowledge and to get people interested in learning. Instead of shutting everything down, how about we figure out how to make things better?
- jschwartzi 12y agoYou could start by paying more and making it easier to enter the profession. If it's as valuable as you say, surely you'd be willing to pay more than he could make as a cleaner or a convenience store clerk.
- jsprogrammer 12y agoAnd how do I pay for that?
- a3n 12y agoThree ways: raise tuition, reduce administration costs, or de-emphasize the obsession with Egyption pyramid scale building. Probably others.
- jsprogrammer 12y agoI've already graduated and I likely won't be returning as a paying student, so these aren't really viable options for me.
- konradb 12y agoRein in administrative staff costs. If they were how they were even 15 years ago...
- owen_griffiths 12y agoWe don't need to shut down universities. Just, enough aspiring professors need to find something else that pays more how they'd like. Then, there will be more demand and better conditions for those left.
