    Hello free tickets...

  • The sale of "higher education" is the biggest scam in this country.

    Clearly since they are charging 5 times more for a dorm room than it costs for a luxury apartment.

  • People don't seem to care so much about commitment vs reward. If the place you are studying and living is important, if the field of study is important and can't be done for less money, and if your target career is lucrative enough then its a good investment.

    If it isn't, why bother?

    On the other hand we've had it pounded into our heads that people with a college degree make x times more money. Quite possibly because people who go through the bother of attaining a college degree are more dedicated then those who glide.

    I think you are right - when we have tuition costs rising exponentially- and ridiculous freshmen requirements

    of having to live on campus as mandatory in order to get grants and loans....

    we call it a "racket"

    That's exactly what I plan on telling my kids (if I ever end up having any). College is a scam, and a bachelor's degree is pretty much useless unless you're in engineering, accounting, or education.

    That very well may be true....but I am also hoping that her marketing degree can fit on that list.

    Well there are certainly careers that might require a bachelor's degree but I see that degree as more of a test of will (or hazing process) than actual need for the information acquired. I remember when I went to college there were dozens of job ads on the bulletin board that said any degree. I don't see any reason for most teachers to have a degree beyond maybe and associates.

    And if you go into debt to get a degree in sociology, philosophy,music, art history or even theatre arts I don't want to hear you bitch that you're not making 6 figures a year.
