It kind of doesn’t make sense, because algorithms are rigged right? So why get a degree in an industry where your ability to make a living is at the mercy of code?

It makes sense because a lot of millennial college faculty would rather be content creators on TikTok or with a podcast than the old-style “public intellectual” that writes op-Ed’s and trade press books.

I also see academia as sooooooo far behind the current media landscape that I wonder how this would even work in practice, but I do think it’s smart on the university’s behalf

Yeah mixed feelings here too… I do want people to take the creator economy seriously but I also think the authenticity that people respond to kind of needs to be self made, which of course can involve studying the work of others, but I think an individual, self-directed form of study rather than one delivered via an institution

This is interesting. I try to foster conversations about where media is headed with my students, and I offer students options to complete assignments as social media content. I’m at a small school, but I think we’re all grappling with the speed of tech progress.

A B.A. in content creation… I can see it. Somewhat like graphic art.

$400k to figure out what is going to be interesting on TikTok? Or is it that much to figure out how to rig the algorithm?

I think for the vast majority of young people, traditional college is irrelevant. I don’t think it’s necessary to devote 4 years to learning content creation.
