“It’s genuinely destructive to give people the message that we’re overinvesting in college, that we’re in a college-debt bubble, that you’ll end up as an unemployed ethnomusicologist with $200,000 in debt working at Starbucks,” Mr. Autor, the M.I.T. economist, said. “That’s not a message you would want to give to anyone you know who has kids.”

my habit is usually to wake up every day, scan down the NYT frontpage, and laugh at all the wrongheaded editorializing/subtext in every single headline. the NYT is just a bad joke.

their obnoxious 'voice of reason' tone is just a kind of communal mental illness at this point.

Replace "NYT" with "xo" and "headline" with "thread-title" and I would agree.

Xo is wrong on this. Posters conflate 200k law school debt with 30k of debt to get a degree from the local state school. Read the article and look at the studies cited. With the gap in both UE and income growing between degree holders and non-degree holders a college degree has never been worth more.

xo says college access shouldn't be expanded if it's bs major and is fine if it's real skills at real prices.
