Ultra-Liberal Colleges Are CLOSING Across the Country at an Unpreceded Rate!!!

This has not been spoken about much, but it makes a lot of sense.  Universities are anchored by STEM qualified students who move on into the job space.  After that all other disciplines are actually prepping high School teaching and the academic life.  That was always a small market.  

Then of course there was law school and politics.

This sector was hugely over expanded simply to pump out graduates even if most were unemployable.  This still opened the door to getting a degree and this could be done by catering to the C crowd in particular.

Now the financial squeeze is on and these are certainly the low hanging fruit and they are falling.  

I personally think that you actually need two established skills before you enter a university.  You need to have passed calculus with a C and you need practiced writing skills able to pound out a clean five hundred words easily.  Neither is that difficult and both can be taught up.  I certainly lacked the writing skill when i went through.

I also think that all should at the same time pick up useful skills in the trades as well.  This is when young people have the energy and the potential focus as well.  Even a run through Basic Training is hugely beneficial.
