[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Back when people read philosophy in college and the like, the assumption was that employers hired bright people and then trained them. The real issue today isn’t universities but employers who no longer provide any training. This puts us in the situation where either your university now teaches project management and data analysis or the student pays for boot camps and the like later on their own. The fault is really the employers who don’t want a broadly educated workforce. They just want serfs [/quote]

Companies still do, the management training programs are just smaller and harder to get into every year. A philosophy major from Princeton has a chance, but good luck to a philosophy major from Rutgers. Even when I graduated from a SLAC, if you missed out on those programs, your options were grad school or hoping you could find a random corporate job and learn form there. I think those random entry level corporate jobs have just about vanished though[/quote]
