Everyone knows that. On the other hand, the major right-wing news sites like the Federalist, Rare, Reason, the Rebel, and especially Breitbart are all doing from fairly to very well. On the other other hand, the left-wing sites are named are all the major left-wing sites, only Huffpo seems to still be doing slightly well on the left, and they largely don't pay their writers.RPGPundithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17267330191433119298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600947515654238699.post-56251414161867125542016-04-20T22:34:45.646-04:002016-04-20T22:34:45.646-04:00I read 85% of online advertising is going to Googl...I read 85% of online advertising is going to Google and Facebook. So, left wing journos will always have a place to work and get their message out (likely to be written by journos from developing nations). My dad was a united prof, retired now. He felt a big problem was that courses weren't easily transferable between uni's. Uni's want a majority if classes bought off if them. Not exactly holding up their line and social contract that it's about education. It's crazy the job requirement now. An elementary school guidance councilor in BC, Canada, req a doctorate degree.

Vice, Salon, Gawker, Jezebel, pretty well every Regressive-left-wing news site around has just had massive cutbacks.

They don't need to, because students have already been fed the fantasy that "you can do anything you dream to do" by everyone around them for the last 18 years. <br /><br />The bigger problem isn't with the colleges, it's with the culture. The colleges have just become a fucked up monopoly because of the culture.RPGPundithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17267330191433119298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600947515654238699.post-90013111292543499962016-04-19T23:09:55.518-04:002016-04-19T23:09:55.518-04:00So true, on both points.

Bill agreed with the banks that students could no longer declare bankruptcy on eduction costs which they could not get a job from. When this happen the costs shot up. I invite anyone to check this correlation out.<br /><br />Solution? Let students declare bankruptcy on education debt f they cannot find work. Hey, universities promised an education in woman of Africa studies would get them a job. So let students sue the schools. Pretty quick the schools would reform themselves. Of course the war we would se of professors who teach programs you cannot get work with would be a nughtmare. Since schools, interest groups, and politicians care about their jobs. Not students jobs. All about money. Glad I have a job. I would hate to be ten years old today with today's prospects for work.Mighty Veilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13091153241917134322noreply@blogger.com
