when we meet irl, ask me again
― markers, Sunday, 26 May 2013 14:24 (ten years ago) link
the short answer is yes
From 2000 to 2012, the annual production of master’s degrees jumped 63 percent, federal data show, growing 18 percentage points more than the output of bachelor’s degrees. It is a sign of a quiet but profound transformation underway at many prominent universities, which are pouring more energy into job training than ever before.
interesting way to put it

GWU awarded about 3,900 master’s degrees in 2012, ranking 18th in the nation. Hopkins, with about 4,800, ranked ninth. Among others in the top 20 were New York (2nd), Columbia (3rd) and Harvard (15th) universities. The online unit of the for-profit University of Phoenix, which awarded about 18,600, ranked first.

there are people w/ uop degrees who do have jobs, it probably gets you disqualified from 'serious jobs' with serious HR people but a lot of times a college degree is just a checkbox someone needs to have checked and the skeezy programs fill that role.

“College is the primary way in which people achieve ‘upward social mobility,’” Dr. Price read from the text. “Receiving a college degree helps ‘level the playing field’ for everyone. A college degree can minimize or eliminate differences due to background, race, ethnicity, family income level, national origin, immigration status, family lineage, and personal connections.

Thank christ, imo. Though the chorus of people (at least in my industry) lamenting how we'll never get to work a 16 hour day for no pay again (which, of course we fucking will) is pretty nauseating.

As private housing developers try harder than ever to outdo the amenities that their competitors offer in college towns, concern is growing about the academic and social consequences of upscale off-campus student housing.The spas, tanning salons and sprawling pools offered by these complexes, which often require their tenants to be students, are a far cry from the traditional on-campus residence halls that may house classrooms and faculty and host lectures and academic discussions.

forget academic discussions, you're supposed to live in kind of a shithole when you're 20 years old

There are washers and dryers that send text messages when a cycle is complete, and exercise machines that allow users to check their e-mail.

I went to a presentation on international student mobility last week and someone made the claim that the awful state of campus housing was putting foreign students off applying. The idea of having to share a room with a stranger is seen by many as totally bizarre.

Boys weren't even allowed into the stairwell of my college dorm, much less the actually residence floors. I'm pretty sure no one ever had sex on campus in the history of the institution.

You could be fined actual money for breaking that rule. Which now that I think of it is sort of paying for sex with someone you already know.

One of those luxury places (maybe not quite that lux) opened up just off the campus here. $600/month for a space with three roommates - not sure if your bedroom is shared, but for $20 more you can get an all bills paid apartment that's not too bad. $600/month to share a kitchen among four strangers is insane to me.
The washer/dryers that message you are not a bad idea, though - assuming that the average resident isn't a complete asshole, it should make the laundry room operate more efficiently.
