For an overrated college diploma.
College is a business, and until parents of 18-year-old high school seniors, and those students:
A. Realize that fact;
B. Accept that fact;
C. Look at alternatives from a business-oriented mindset
Colleges will continue to prey on those students with an “American dream” as mythical as that of homeownership.
Read the full column for how little college is worth, especially with international outsourcing of more and more white-collar jobs.
And, look at Marty Nemko’s suggested student/parent “bill of rights.”
And then, hang your head low.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
As seen at Washington Babylon and other fine establishments
