Getting a Job

A recurring theme Kyle tags in his reading, attached here to a highlight in The Death of Expertise. The flagged passage observes that students who pick majors “with little thought about where their school stands, what academic resources it can offer…or where it places graduates from those programs” risk leaving campus with less knowledge than they believe they have. Kyle’s tag pulls the credential-vs-education tension toward the question of employment outcomes: what college is actually supposed to deliver, and whether students choosing courses as consumers buying a credential are equipped to get and do a job.
