[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a very philistine way of looking at things. [/quote]

Is that wrong?  If college was free, maybe we should look at it another way (whatever that may be).  Since they are practially robbing your wallet to "educate" your kid, the only way to look at the value on that investment is the return.

Let's face, it I can learn most of the crap that a college can teach me for free on a MOOC or on the internet.  The only reason I'd go to a college is for the pedigree and the resultant salary.[/quote]

Nope. But it isn't the whole story.

I earn a nice living. I contribute to the country in a positive way every day. I have an advanced degree.  I use my training every day.  I can afford to support my child's education, but not absolutely anywhere without aid. I am very well read in the classics because of my undergrad training.  This brings me joy even today.  Life is pretty good.

I could earn more if I entered the private sector, but I don't want to and I don't need to for my life to be complete.  I could earn less at a college training the next generation in my field, but I don't want to.

Please tell me what is wrong with my choices?  There are many paths to a good life.

I'm sorry you didn't get in to your first choice.

I have a hard sciences undergrad and a business grad.  I am very well read in much more than the classics - philosophy, psychology, politics, management theory, history.. - the list goes on.  I can hold my own - EASILY- with anyone on any of those topics.  And the best part is, I didn't waste money getting that knowledge.

I do all things you state in your first para. and can send my kids to any school they want to go to.

Please tell me what is wrong with my choices?  You pick your path, I will mine.

I'm happy about my first choice and the choices it allows me to make (or buy).[/quote]

Nothing is wrong. It is one of many paths. I'm glad you are a success, but sorry you are so arrogant and narrow minded.  If you think that your path is the only worthwhile path, then you are mistaken, and must be fairly unbearable day to day as you encounter one person after another who you distain.

And if you are the OP, I urge you to get a life.
