William Deresiewicz Quotes
What's The Return On Investment Of College? What's The Return On Investment Of Having Children, Spending Time With Friends, Listening To Music, Reading A Book? The Things That Are Most Worth Doing Are Worth Doing For Their Own Sake. Anyone Who Tells You That The Sole Purpose Of Education Is The Acquisition Of Negotiable Skills Is Attempting To Reduce You To A Productive Employee At Work, A Gullible Consumer In The Market, And A Docile Subject Of The State. What's At Stake, When We Ask What College Is For, Is Nothing Less Than Our Ability To Remain Fully Human.
