Interversity Quotes"I think it's time to ask the Standardistos: Where's the test for compassion? For honesty? For curiosity? For moral commitment? Until they can answer, let's tell them to shut up." —Susan Ohanian (One Size Fits Few: The Folly of Educational Standards) Interversity ProjectsEchoes of Orwell:The purpose of this webforum is to promote a lively discussion among students and faculty alike about George Orwell's 1984 and the parallels or echoes found in today's society. |

What bothers me just a bit is that the call for higher skills and different skills is paralleled by an ever increasing Wal-Martization in the jobs that are actually being created. The number of retail sales jobs totals more than the 10 fastest growing jobs combined. We have 23 cashiers for every engineer and no shortage of engineers. The ten occupations with the most jobs projected in 2014 by the BLS are virtually all low-skill, low-pay service sector positions. ____________________________________ Sure. We're a nation of 300 million people and we like to drive our cars, eat fast food, and shop for bargains. Not surprising that there are lots of retail-service jobs.
