Interesting chart from the OECD. Shows the percent of the "adult" population with a college degree.



Although I would pay good money to see it if we deducted those getting degrees in fluff such as "communications" and "philosophy."

Don't forget the entirety of the (Insert Your Victim Status Here)-Studies Departments, known as hotbeds of academic debate and free exchange of ideas (HEAVY SARCASM).

Speaking thereof, I give you the latest in such, coming to a U of M campus near you: Finally, the Ag School has some competition!

Post-script: I know it may depend on just when you click on that link, but I had to laugh at the fact that on the sidebar was an ad for Ralph Lauren with an slim supermodel just opposite the featured photo. The irony is complete.
