Tough Times for Graduates

That the cost of a higher education has more than quadrupled since I went to college is astounding. It’s a form of robbery, I think. Put simply, I doubt the quality or quantity of “education” one receives in a 4 year stint has also increased in that time.

We try to send too many people to college and have artificially increased the demand beyond what the intellectual curiosity of the group HS graduates would naturally demand. College now (more than ever) is simply a baby-sitting service for those who don’t know what else to do.
