TCD: Are we telling too many kids they need to go to college?

http://theconcretedonkey.blogspot.com/2015/02/we-are-telling-too-many-kids-they-need.html

Sunday, February 08, 2015. Are we telling too many kids they need to go to college? According to this chart. From the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 23% of jobs require a bachelor's degree or higher. Interestingly, according to this chart. 43% of US students between 25 and 34 have a bachelor's degree or higher. Maybe we are overselling the necessity of a college education.

TCD: The Mad Men Finale

http://theconcretedonkey.blogspot.com/2015/05/the-mad-men-finale.html

Tuesday, May 19, 2015. The Mad Men Finale. I've been thinking about the Mad Men finale. The more I think, the more unfulfilled I am by it, because a significant subtext concerns the primacy and importance of work. First, the final scene is not about Don's enlightenment. Instead, it's about Don using a possibly life-transforming event to come up with a great pitch for work. Is he a better father or a better person? His new wife is the most recent in a series of wives. Has he found true happiness? Peep Sho...

http://theconcretedonkey.blogspot.com/2015/02/standardized-test-scores-do-no-predict.html

Sunday, February 15, 2015. Standardized test scores do no predict adult income. But something else does. A paper produced at Stanford in 2008 found that students' behavior in middle school predicted adult income better than test scores. In fact, middle school test scores only predicted income for men with postsecondary degrees. The interesting part is how the researcher measured behavior: she simply asked two teachers to answer the following five questions. Is [the student] frequently absent? Reckless: M...
