In an economy that values STEM skills, is it possible to study philosophy and still get a job when you graduate?
To hear policymakers and higher-education wonks tell it, there’s a now chasm separating what high-tech industries need in order to stay competitive and the skills current students can offer once they’re old enough to work for them.

Late Show co-executive producer Emily Lazar calls the unconventional lineup shots—and she’s changing the late-night landscape.
So far, Stephen Colbert has not completely re-wired the late-night television machine with his particular brand of arch, sharp comedy. He still knows how to go star-powered clip to star-powered clip with the viral-mad Jimmys—Fallon and Kimmel—by, say, pondering life’s mysteries with Scarlett Johansson or “silly walking” with Lupita Nyong’o.
