   Do you sense that I am advancing a normative defense of universities as credential cartels? I'm not. I'm just pointing out that even after the efforts by the state to increase the inclusion of higher education, the situation remains that most of the economic value of higher education derives from its exclusion and line building. Normatively I'm on your side here, and you calling me a prick isn't helping either of us learn anything.

   The key difference between tech and academia is that even at $60k/year, sociologists are grossly overpaid relative to the 'contribution' they make to society.

   I mean go ask an average person on the street who they think deserve their salary more - a google employee earning $150k a year, or an academic sociologist earning $60k. I suspect that close to 100% of people will say the former.

    C'mon now. I teach in the b-school and I'm encouraging students to do startups for a reasonable salary. Who says we can't have it all?
