Malinvestment
By Mitch Berg
Macalester – at $47,195 a year – has made the list of colleges where alumni earn less than high school grads.
Now, to some extent these rankings are misleading; students’ earning potential is whatever they decide it’s going to be.
Provided they don’t think waving a degree about and saying “I want a job in my field” is the way to do it.
Which, given the number of International Victimization Studies majors Mac turns out, may be a bigger problem than most places.

Actually I think the most common major there is “World Citizen”. Or is it Enviromental Studies?
Say..Conceal Carry saves another life. This time in Seattle at a 7-11.

Sounds like the kind of information that a private sector loan officer would look at before underwriting a student loan. Wonder why the government isn’t doing this? It isn’t because it’s guaranteed revenue to back up the Health Insurance Deform Act, is it?

Interesting #5 Reed College is where Steve Jobs dropped out and stayed to audit classes.

This isn’t an indictment of Macalester, it’s a testament to the stupidity of the leftist tools that send their kids there.

I suspect the most highly sought-after degree from Macalester is “Virtue Signaling” and you can’t put a price tag on that.

My son informs me it’s pronounced MACAL-HIPSTER.
