The point I gave up reading was when Nate started arguing that a degree from an Ivy League would look worse than a good state school to employers because those students are clearly political activist nincompoops. And it's like... first off, these trends have been going on for as long as I can remember (and I am no longer young), and second off, you got your fame doing good statistical analysis, surely you could back up your assertions with hard data showing the decline of hiring instead of political punditry. But I'm guessing the data shows the opposite of the political punditry here.
