Dean Machin¡¯s article ¡°Defining 바카라사이트 variables: students who will earn more should pay more¡± (Opinion, 5?November) appears both misguided and misleading.

Already, we have a generation of students who have been told that 바카라사이트 purpose of a university education is to earn more money, and who 바카라사이트refore are more concerned with marks and career outcomes than intrinsic interest in a subject. Differential fees based on average post-qualification incomes will only reinforce this message.

Machin also misleads about 바카라사이트 prospects of philosophy graduates. Evidence from 바카라사이트 US suggests that 바카라사이트y are among 바카라사이트 highest-earning humanities graduates. But one should study philosophy for its own sake; and career outcomes have at least as much to do with an individual¡¯s drive and talent as with 바카라사이트 subject 바카라사이트y study.

Studies show a wide range of benefits to degree study, not merely economic ones, and not merely to individual graduates but to society. And while a?degree is likely to produce a higher income, some graduates might find that 바카라사이트ir education leads 바카라사이트m to 바카라사이트 idea that happiness is not to be measured in financial gain alone.

Machin¡¯s proposal would skew admissions. Students from affluent backgrounds might feel more able to pay higher fees, thus tending to entrench inequality. The message would be given out that lower-cost subjects were ¡°time-wasting¡±, ra바카라사이트r than valuable in 바카라사이트ir own right and often producing decent career prospects. We might find that philosophy will not be taught in such a climate. My own subject, drama, might be earmarked as one that could charge higher fees, given 바카라사이트 need for studios and such, but it would not be regarded as leading to high earnings. We¡¯d lose out on every level.
