We spoke with Aaron Clarey, author of "Worthless", a book about the value of a college degree.
Leslie Eastman has a great review of the book (including videos):
"My favorite line from “Worthless” is: THE TRUTH IS NOT OPTIONAL.
However, young students are persuaded to obtain college degrees that do
not give them skills at real wealth production, as they are persuaded
to pursue the “interests” instead of obtaining something actually
marketable.
In an environment in which the Internet and social medial
allows one readily to engage in boutique hobbies, we are in dire need of
people who can design and manufacture computers, iPods, DVD players… or
materially produce the energy to run them (e.g., petroleum engineers,
chemists).
As a result, Americans are losing the ability to generate
real wealth for themselves, which damages or bottom-line/generantional
Gross Domestic Product and directs them into “crusader” careers that
steals the wealth from those of us who manage to actually get a worthy
degree."
We would recommend this book to a college student or someone thinking about his current educational situation.
