I mean there’s always going to be a caste system.
And that’s the problem. As long as people from $70K a year tuition schools have a leg up on public school kids and as long as public school kids have a leg up on CC kids, the value of a college degree will continue to increase and the cost of a college education will increase with it.
Tuition doesn’t increase with inflation like the price of milk because a college education in 2019 is far more valuable and necessary compared to a college education 50 years ago. Meanwhile milk is still milk.
If employers were hiring based on skill and not where people went to school, all of a sudden tuition wouldn’t rise as much and there would be less demand for loans.
LOL. Could you not see my emoticon through the film of rage over your eyes?
I also had Lewis for Intro, but I sat in the back. Anybody who survived that class in a front-row seat has my lasting admiration.
I don't think anyone would argue that there aren't a lot of philosophy majors who go to law school. Whether those philosophy majors become decent lawyers is a completely separate issue. Obviously anecdotal, but I've found the opposite to be true. Especially people with classical backgrounds that try to go into business, or especially tax, law. The Tribble Warriors get run over in that setting.
Please tell me more about how a philosophy major gets “run over” in the field of tax law. Is it better or worse my other major was history?
What? No.
That's the cart before the horse.

1. Not hired.
2. If/when hired, work product has to be corrected 5-10 years down the road when someone competent eventually looks at it, hopefully not prompted by an audit.
I'd view history as more relevant than philosophy. Philosophy is great if someone is going to go argue abstract Constitutional Law cases, but that isn't relevant to most lawyers.
what is the best pre-law degree, counsel?
am curious how many personal injury lawyers have an undergraduate major in physics

or malpractice lawyers who were pre-med
Several of the best medmal and PI lawyers have medical backgrounds. I don't know of any with medical backgrounds who aren't really good in those fields, but I know plenty of liberal arts majors who suck in those fields.
