Honestly, I didn’t take much from it - and if law is already overcrowded, well going to law school is just kicking the can down the road - as is an athlete staying longer (and paying more) - I don’t see/agree with the premise that it can make them more valuable.
I get the taking short term assignments like the person at an agency in DC - that makes sense - you are building a resume and in this case, that might be the only thing they could have gotten.
But I don’t (personally) see much of value in the article/guidance…I mean, this will sort of play out naturally - and yes, often people do use “more schooling” as a way to delay the inevitable or to not fight the current system…but eventually, school runs out and chasing more schooling if you’re not really interested - well that can backfire too.
Thanks for posting though - I’m sure many will appreciate it and it’s always good to hear the words.
I’m sure colleges/counselors are struggling a bit more now because college is a huge investment and even if the CC posters see more value in the education than outcome, studies show that parents are seeking a return on their investment (financially) and that has to put many colleges in a pickle.
