Dan Rather To Teach Journalism Course Called "Finding The Truth In The News"
Laughed out loud when I saw that title.
Methinks Deceiver Dan deserves the Humor category.
Maybe "Media" shoulda been a category.
Naw, Humor covers that.

allosaur you are very right!
The real problem is that now everyone has tacitly accepted that the college degree is a standard need for employment. Educators (and government) have colluded to manufacture a market for higher education. And they've put in a very convincing marketing campaign to persuade businesses that they should only hire a college-educated person, and the government-run lower (k-12) education that they need to push kids to get ready to go to college.
A century ago, the only people who went to college were those trying to get advanced education such as that needed for business, the legal profession, or the medical profession. Everyone else did an apprenticeship - learning on the job. People actually became experts in their profession of choice (apprentices -> journeymen -> masters) by doing the job. Diplomas somehow became accepted as a shortcut to certify that someone who came out of school could do the same thing minus the experience!
I'd like to see the education system go back to emphasizing actual experience rather than simply encourage the entitlement brought on by a piece of paper. (And just FYI, but I have the pieces of paper...)
