Again?

Apparently not satisfied with the first round, the NY Times once again oozes sadness all over the hearts and minds of humanities-dedicated Millennials.
In 50 years, will there be any humanities professors left? All this doom and gloom does more than just weed out the fools and jokers, it discourages genuine talent and passionate people from pursuing academia. I understand that the jobs are dwindling, so perhaps these bright intellectuals-in-training should be warned about the financial risk. But what will happen to the quality of a $45,000 a year tuition? A degree which costs that much – whether it is worth that much is up for debate – should come with a sprinkling of hopes and dreams, a hint of possibilities.

Comment by brighteyes September 29, 2009 @ 5:54 pmHi there – I apologize for not seeing your comment sooner. Thank you so much for your kind words. Hang in there and embrace the struggle – you’ll feel real proud of yourself once you get to the other side and look back. Collect all of your stories of your restless, directionless, poverty-stricken youth because those are way more interesting than stories about how everything was easy and worked out well all the time.
