The
US is not alone in its fixation of college as a panacea for solving the world’s
problems. AMOLRAJAN makes the case that the UK has also gone over the cliff on
sending kids to college that make little or no progress at their colleges
rather than developing real-world work skills or a non-college skill that is in
demand.

A Message for the Class of 2013
Great advice from Rob LaZebnik, a writer for “The Simpsons”.
"Dear Graduates: You're pampered, privileged and oversexed—but at least your employment prospects are dim."
“So you relaxed into college
life—a well-deserved break after the exhausting race to get here. You've spent
four years percolating in a warm stew of beer, gender studies and online
pornography—which led to the subject of your senior thesis, "Jacobean
Dramatic Tropes in Modern 'Massage Surprise' Videos."” Actually
many of you have spent six years or more.
“So I advise you to ignore
all the clichés of the typical commencement speech and do what your generation
does best: get lucky.”
