centrism is a hell of a drug

The Obama administration was actually off to a pretty good start by cracking down on for-profit schools like ITT tech and basically forcing them out of business. Don't expect that to continue.

centrism is a hell of a drug

In a world where a bachelor's degree is the new high school diploma, there are no useless degrees, just relatively less useful ones. There really aren't any jobs out there that list "BA in philosophy" as the requirement, but there are a lot of jobs that just won't consider anyone without an undergraduate degree and who would be fine with a candidate they liked who studied philosophy,.

I don't understand homework outside of math. Math homework is obviously important (or at least it was for me) because repetition is the way to build that skill. For other subjects homework other than reading and the occasional writing assignment always seems like a waste of time. The amount of work assigned in college always seemed more sensible, and outside of math and science it was almost always just reading.
