Watch something long enough and you see the patterns. Just so with Audrey Watters and tech headlines. From her newsletter today: "There's often a pattern to the education news – or at least, to the stories that get shouted the loudest and spread the widest in any given week. Via The 74: 'Report: 30 Million Well-Paying Jobs, Mostly in the West and South, Exist for Workers Without Bachelor's Degrees.' 'You Can Get a Good Job Without a Bachelor's Degree,' Bloomberg insists. You just need the right training apparently. Via Education Week: 'Betsy DeVos: Stop 'Forcing' Four-Year Degrees as Only Pathway to Success.' '"Trade school, not 4-year college, is a better bet to solve the US income gap, researchers say.'" Yep. That's our media at work.
