Sounds like ACTfit community, but for school.

I had a similar vein idea a few years ago -- instead of term papers, publish a non-fiction research based ebook on kindle.

It's not pretentious like academic journals, but nobody submits to academic journals besides academics, and I don't think many people read them, except for academics and students who are forced to search up scholarly journals.

I suppose if I had a problem, I would look to a scientific journal related to psychology or health, -- but most of the time these are high level papers, and for anyone who is not in the field, you need some sort of processing, which is where all of the endless blog articles online end up coming into play.

A step of rigor above that would be the ebooks in the non-fiction section. Slightly more in depth, you can research and cite the academic journals if you see fit to do so, and you can still make some money.

People sort of bum me out with how schizophrenic they are over money.

I get the impression that 'vanity publishing' would be turned its nose up at -- by academics, but college kids - especially liberal arts education, are leaving without the slightest immediately translated monetizable skill set, except "Maybe if their lucky, critical thinking and writing and research.

But those are like -- not immediately digestible, in terms of translating into cash. You can try to get a competitive job elsewhere, where someone else directs you how to do those things so they can profit from your skills -- but that's pretty much exactly what I'm criticizing about the process.

How do you monetize those skills for yourself, is the void in that whole system.

HIVE study community, and non-fiction kindle publishing, and skillshare video courses / udemy, creating niche specific podcasts, translating information into a kids puppet show even --

There are a ton of ways that people could monetize that expertise that they are developing in undergraduate, but they are not, and the teachers are not really helping them out.
