Quote of the Day: Robert Samuelson

“We overdid it. The obsessive faith in college has backfired. … College-for-all has been a major blunder. … The fixation on college-going, justified in the early post-war decades, stigmatizes those who don’t go to college and minimizes their needs for more vocational skills. It cheapens the value of a college degree and spawns the delusion that only the degree — not the skills and knowledge behind it — matters. We need to rethink.”
