    Another step in the reductio-ad-absurdem of higher education.

    Yeah, it looks ridiculous - but it pays. Did you read the part about the Chinese influencer who made $46 MILLION last year? Unlike law school, there's a guaranteed job for sucessful grads - they all become influencers in the Condé Nast network. That's been an awfully big name - since 'way before Internet days. It looks like they're well-taught about monetizing their social media presence. It's like SEO was, back a few years ago. As always, many of the best jobs of a few years hence haven't been invented yet.

    My take: if it leads to making money - it can't be as silly as it looks.

    @heirophant, @decimon For people in love with traditional education, your Latin stinks!

    That's reductio ad absurdum , not absurdem
    And ad nauseam, not ad nauseum.

    You can look it up, if you slept through Latin class in the 50s or 60s. I was awake then. (How much did I make from learning Latin? Bupkes, but I love it still.)
