Thanks Peter, John, and the Hoover Institution team! A great episode of Uncommon Knowledge!
I think some folks at the college where I am employed would benefit from listening to this discussion!
Every person in a leadership position at a university or college should watch this.
I love it when he talks with cool dudes.
interesting information
University back office staff overhead is obscene.
According to the US Census Bureau, there are only going to be 2100 new computer science jobs in the next 10 years. That is 210 new jobs per year. But only 4 new computers science jobs per state per year. So how are you going to place students in industry? You have too many students.

Those figures sound terribly small to me. How did you get them? On what is the Census Bureau basing its figures? /ann haley

That seems sketchy as hell. Especially the part about 4 computer science jobs per state per year. Most computer science jobs end up in only a few states, like California, so how does that makes sense?
