I revisit college problems many students ought to be attending to..
I
suggest reading "Going Broke by Degree: Why College Costs Too
Much," by Richard Vedder and "Faculty Lounges and Other
Reasons and also Why You Won't Get the College Education You Paid
For." by Naomi Schafer Riley,
In
the Vedder book, for instance, you learn that two out of five
students entering four-year study programs don't achieve a bachelor's
degree after the sixth year. And that colleges accept these students
because of the money they bring, usually government-guaranteed loans.
Comments
are quite instructive; you will learn why it appears so many of our
Ivy-League graduates appear to be far dumber than ordinary
plain-vanilla grads of the not-so-distant past.
Another
example of college being useless: Vedder states there are 80,000
bartenders in the U. S. with bachelor's degrees, and17% of baggage
porters and bellhops with college degrees, along with 15% of taxi/
limo drivers. (See the Earl J Weinreb NewsHole® comments and
