 I tried to shake up an econ department for 4 months. Was going for free so I thought it'd be smart. Was working full time throughout. After 3 meetings with the head of the econ department questioning why nothing besides Keynes/Krugman is taught, they made no effort to accommodate me. I told them I was going to leave if they didn't offer a diverse curriculum. They said "I'm sorry to hear that." I left and became a plumber. One of the best decisions I've made. Its not about education. Its about creating debt slaves and a misinformed set of "educated" people.
