I loved the education, I took it seriously, and I am profoundly grateful for it, but I did not earn pots of cash to justify the expense. What I resent is more that kids who are really not ready for the work load or don't know what they want to do are pressured into it, or made to feel like losers if they don't go. We have to get over this obsession with college.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06141946094101529553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7373309710888796550.post-57260452188169622302015-12-29T14:26:23.303-05:002015-12-29T14:26:23.303-05:00Yes, Stephanie.

I went to NYU, which cost a fortune in those days (15K per yr when I started and it increased 1K each year I was there. I graduated in 3 1/2 years to help save my parents - and me - money.) What happened to the cost of living increase governing the marketplace? Bill's daughter went to NYU and graduated 6 years ago. Her yearly tuition? 50K. I am beyond outrage on this subject. Especially when handymen, electricians, plumbers, carpenters, etc. all have MUCH greater earning potential than I do. Who is everyone kidding? I would much rather have been properly "advised" and gone to a trade school myself. College always felt like a luxury to me, honestly. When I graduated - my high-priced NYU tuition qualified me for a job that paid 18K per year in Manhattan. I couldn't even afford rent.

Promoting a person not on ability but because the person will feel better about themselves. The PC environment is changing our country in so many ways that it may not be the best for society in the long run! Thanks for your thoughts!
