Scott Galloway: While schools are closed, the US should hire 550,000 students to be 'a fighting force of super-soldiers standing ready' to fight COVID-19 (via profgalloway)

This fall, 4 million kids are supposed to show up on campuses around the nation. I have 170 kids registered for my fall Brand Strategy class. I don't believe it's going to happen. The thought of 170 kids sitting elbow to elbow in a classroom presents our trustees with a challenging scenario., jagged pill of learning that had been washed down by a four-year campus experience and certification. Tuition has progressed from extraordinary to risible.

The Corps would be trained in modern handheld technologies that provide facile, crisp communication and organization skills that arrest geometric spread. In addition, Corps members could become apprentices for jobs in key parts of the supply chain we now deem essential . We send young people to the front lines of wars not because they are immune from bullets, but because they are willing, see enlisting as an opportunity, and want to serve something bigger than themselves.

After 12-24 months in the Corona Corps, volunteers would receive a financial remission equivalent to 25-100% of tuition, based on household income, at their chosen university, putting higher education within the grasp of more households and reducing what has become an immoral burden on our youth — student debt. The cost, including $30,000/year salary while in the Corps, would be approximately $50 billion. That amounts to 2% of the funds allocated toward COVID-19 stimulus thus far.
