What Is College For?

Here is an answer not anticipated in the collection I co-edited by that name: To train economists to help Peter Thiel, who has declared higher education to be a worthless bubble. Thiel Capital wants only applicants who have a "High GPA from top-tier university," thank you very much.

  1. Thiel. That's a name to remember...to avoid. Why not just skip that and say we want experienced, published individuals with a proven accomplishments in the fields we're going to put you to work in? They'd end up with better applicants, who may or may not have a "high GP from a top-tier university."
