Two articles today’s WSJ are on particular interest to us.
A few years back I helped with a short article in the Socionomist on the Mob Museum in Vegas. A reporter visits the Museum today and finds it quite profitable. No surprise there as our article predicted.
The second article echoes what I discussed in class last Saturday and Alan has alluded to, changes needed in education. With five waves up in enrollment, Alan predicts big changes. I added that this might well harbinger a Black Swan event. Why do professionals have to take classes outside their chosen field of study? Indeed an op ed on the US physician shortage asks the same thing. It notes that in Europe would be physicians begin studying medicine immediately. I would agree with the assertion that liberal arts classes are expensive and simple put off studying the main game.
