Random scholarships

Wouldn't it be interesting to pick out students from high school at random and give them nifty university scholarships. The ones that got scholarships would be more likely to go to university, regardless of how clever or motivated they were. Then after 10 years you could go and see if they were making more money or being more productive or something. Then you'd know if university was useful or not. No one really knows if university is helpful. Economists kind of sort of think it's useful, but it's possible that university has no impact at all. Although even if university did earn you better money, it still might just be because you seem like a better proposition. Not because you actually are. So you wouldn't have all the answers. But at least you could say that university has more of an impact than just stealing the brightest kids from high school and then taking the credit for their brightness. Although now I think about it, you couldn't even do that. Those scholarship kids might simply get higher incomes because they went to the same institution that others smart kids went to. You'd need to use a university with no name brand recognition. Gee whiz. Practical economics sure is tricky. It's not wonder most economists focus on the impractical sort.

  11. I think it’s brilliant you’ve been thinking about random scholarships as well. It’s good to know that there are other people thinking about it besides myself. I agree though, people who have the money to go are more likely to.

  20. Hi, i’ve been an active member of the vegan/vegetarian society for a long time and now its time to go to college. Participating and volunteering at farm sanctuary and other events such as the Walk for Farm animals was great and fun. But now im in need of scholarships to get into college so i can do more for the animals and myself. Please contact me for information on applicable scholarships. Thanks
