[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure why colleges should be immune to the factors that have decimated the hospitality and retail businesses already.Paying almost 50K for a semester that is virtual is insanity. Time for them to make some tough choices.

People have to stop thinking you HAVE to pay 50-80K a year to get a good education. [b] Psych 101 at community college is the same exact thing at Psych 101 at Harvard. [/b] There is no difference in the great majority of schools in terms of actual learning or education.  If you want to pay to network, then be honest and say "I'm paying so my kid can make friends with other privileged kids who might be able to help them get a job someday".  But let's cut the crap about schools being different than each other.  There's very little difference between any of them.  
Fwiw, my daughter went to our community college, then to a basic state school.  From there, she went to a law school that so many people said, "Don't go there, you'll never get a good job."  Well, now she's in Big Law in one of the most prestigious firms in the country making a crap ton of money.  She paid the few loans she took out (and no, our family was not in a position to help her at all financially and went mostly on academic scholarship) in the first 3 years of working.  Smart kids know how to make it.  No need for 50K a year school.[/quote]

Dream on.  It is not the same thing.  Same basic content, sure.  Same peers, same discussion, same professor, same expectations for work product, no way.[/quote]
