The interesting thing ...
that's why he recommends taking classes in them

doesn't matter
there are too many stupid people who vote and make decisions based on faulty understanding of statistics and economics
there's even a thread on here now about people taking out $181k loans so they can get a Masters in Film LOL
anyone who has even the most basic understanding of economics would understand how incredibly stupid that is

no one's saying people have to be experts -- but my god, have a basic understanding
having a basic understanding of statistics, economics and the history of different political cultures is as important as a basic understanding of chemistry and physics
you shouldn't have people in government asking if Guam can flip over and other nonsense
> The interesting thing he never talks about is helping the students land employment!
if we really want to help people get employment the we need to stop degree inflation
a college degree should not be a requirement for most jobs
and we should eliminate loans for all BS degrees , like that masters in film

Just because someone understands statistics doesn't mean they'll vote how you want.
