[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fareed Zakaria is not someone who has a lot of credibility given his record of plagiarism. The reality is that as the economy changes the skill-set to be marketable will also change. Not to recognize this is to risk going the way of a dinosaur. Since we are paying for our children's college, we have made it clear to them that although we will not decide their major, [b]we reserve the right to veto a major that we believe will not increase their potential for being gainfully employed after they finish college.[/b] We sure as hell are not going to spend $200K on getting them an education in some major that will not enhance their prospects for employment down the line. Citing the examples of Zuckerberg, Gates and others is akin to arguing that one does not need a college education because these two individuals did just fine though they dropped out of college.[/quote] You are on a slippery slope.[/quote]
