http://www.nytimes.com/pages/opinion/index.html I commented on this piece because I’m afraid it missed the point. Here is what I wrote.

I commented on http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2013/03/the-miserable-odds-of-a-poor-student-graduating-from-college-in-2-graphs/274250/#comments I wanted to note differences between schools.

Why Ph.D’s don’t get jobs as professors
March 21, 2013 by

March 5, 2013 by

Comments on The Atlantic Site Containing References
The Atlantic Monthly wrote a piece which I believe misses important details, and, thus, issues, about student debt. I wrote a comment. I then replied to someone else. If you read my blog, you probably won’t find my comment so new, but if you look at my reply, you will see references to some very good […]
