139 - Bryan Caplan Interview Follow Up

If you haven't listened to the full interview yet, check it out first. After interviewing Bryan Caplan about his book, The Case Against Education, I had so many thoughts rolling around that I wanted to record a separate follow up episode.  In this episode, I cover where I think Bryan is right and where I don't think he goes far enough.  Topics Covered: - Economic thinking and rational choice theory to explain the choice to go to college. - The role of parents in their kid's choices to go to college. - Do you need to be a super genius to succeed without college? - People choose college out of fear for bucking the dominant belief system. - Getting cheap easy praise from college and how that creates entitlement. - College grads are free to blame the economy when they are unemployed. - College degrees as a social signal, not an economic signal.
