Edification for Life

Interesting article at LRC on why young people should consider not going to college. The article is well thought out and makes a sound case for gaining relevant experience on your own. But - big caveat letters - the author assumes that everybody wants a job in the statist world making lots of money and continuing on the same old, same old. Internships are very valuable for young people as a way of testing the waters to see if that may be what you want to do for a living, but to give away your time and effort at no pay to get an inroad to a low-paying statist job is an absurd reason to do something.

Building skills in the focus area of what you wish to know, do and learn is the reason to take the internship - putting things together in different ways from how they have been put together for you - getting a feel for the pieces that you have to work with and integrating new ideas into the old so that all ideas work well together, in the frame of thinking. Do what you want to do well, and you will have a productive fulfilling career - and be who you are to have a productive fulfilling life. There are some serious things that need to be addressed that will provide enough valid work for everyone to partake their fill, withhowdt the herding.
