And, in that same time span, the share of jobs requiring a bachelor’s or master’s degree has more than doubled from 16 percent to 35 percent. I’ve made a list of the key points in the Appendix to this review if you want to know more about it, below.

But it is true that the internet revolution makes most of modern life possible, and we can be glad that access is growing in developing countries where it’s traditionally been out of the question. A serial entrepreneur, Galloway’s latest foray has been Section 4, an ed-tech start up that provides “business education for builders, disrupters, doers, changemakers and builders. This may be of value to a youngster who needs to understand what happened in economics since 1945 with stops at the 1980 station, and then 2000 on.

On the right, there can be a tendency to simplify an insanely complex issue, like minimum wage, into a singular talking point, probably involving socialism and government overreach. Getting a degree may be more difficult than ever but ignoring the benefits of college isn’t the answer.
