The Daily Princetonian

I like it

There’s a bit of a disconnect between how much we — myself included — talk about wanting to help with some problem in society and how many of us actually do something.

Why Princeton should offer Real Life 101

Although receiving a Princeton A.B. requires mastery of valuable skills like critical thinking, the degree is not vocational in nature. Despite the fact that Princeton students are graduating with the invaluable skills of an excellent liberal arts education, the majority of students will only have taken a few classes that will help them survive in the real world outside of their careers. Offering a broad selection of more universally relevant courses would allow students to fulfill distribution requirements while also receiving a deeper breadth of knowledge and perspective that could assist them in everyday life.

Editorial: Beyond finance and consulting

This year, as in years past, the offerings presented to students have been disproportionately oriented toward just two industries: consulting and finance. While the Office of Career Services does make an effort to provide Princeton students with information about other options for their futures, Career Services should devote more energy to expanding the breadth of opportunities available to graduating seniors.

Argue with facts, not censorship

We believe that, almost without exception, increasing the available amount of information and the number of different perspectives serves as a positive influence on public discourse. If climate change skeptics truly are as easily refuted as Geronimus claims, then supporters of the theory should have no cause to fear engagement with them.

Sanity, not sensationalism

It seems that media attention itself has become the primary — if not the only — source of legitimization in American politics. Whether the attention is good or bad barely seems to matter, and may in fact be an irrelevant dichotomy.
