Re: The Beginning of the End of Education as Usual
The problem with being a "product" of an educational system, is that products are marketed. Within corporations, it doesn't matter if you are a better product than the others, you are marketed just the same. Marketing is still based on a caste system. You wouldn't try to market a sports car to a person trying to buy a golf cart, right? The caste system is defined by marketing rules, placing less value on what you know, and more on how you learned it. A job fair is nothing more than a flea market peddling the skills of the average college grad. Common sense tells us that everyone has a skill to contribute, although some corporatations still assign higher value to a diploma than experience. Let's work to open the eyes of other people, and let them know that a fucking piece of paper doesn't make one person's college opinion better than somebody else's knowledge.
