[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And yet DCUM denigrates the pre professional schools at Penn Georgetown Northeastern in favor of SLACs. It’s all daisies and unicorns to be so idealist in when you are young, until you are 35 and your peers are making 3-5x more than you do….. this is exactly why I told my DC to pursue CS or Business. Let someone else try to save the world, the trees and the whales. In the real world, living real life, with two kids and a mortgage, It’s about making money. [/quote]

And yet I'm still advising my kids to look at SLACs. When they save the world, you'll know who to thank.[/quote]

How many graduates have SLACs produced over the past centuries, yet exactly zero of them have saved the world.  It remains unsaved to this day.  Think about it.[/quote]

[b]Who do you think teaches your kids, at all levels from pre-k to college and beyond?[/b]

Who do you think produces all the entertainment you love to consume?

Who do you think runs the museums you love to go visit?

Who do you think is discovering the vaccines that will save your and your kid's life some day?

Who do you think is working on figuring out how to deal with climate change?

Who do you think is designing the goods you love to buy?

And never mind the SLAC graduates and what jobs they get. If everyone aspired to big law and finance type jobs our society would fall apart. A healthy society needs people who will do a whole spectrum of jobs, from manual labor to intellectual labor. These kinds of threads get so tiresome. If making money is your top priority in life, fine. But stop acting as if you're superior to people who don't earn 500k+ a year. Those people are doing jobs that make your life better. It's hard to say that about the people who earn 500k+ a year, that what they do makes the lives of the rest of us any better.
