Quote Of The Day
"The corporate world, with its materialistic gospel of career-is-everything; aided and abetted by over-priced colleges, has made an art of blackmailing young people into thinking they will face certain ruin unless they spend a fortune on school. The schools have a vested interest in making sure everyone waits for just about everything in life, except running up school debt while working for the modern equivalent of the company store. "

There was an article in the New York Times this week about a college that raised it's tuition in order to boost applications. It worked. The perception is so pervasive that the more a college charges the better it is that this college with reasonable tuition couldn't get applicants. The college mentioned turned right around and gave the funds back as tuition reimbursment and scholarships.
In several Paul Fussell books, he comments on how what used to be schools slowly because "colleges" and then "universities" without earning the right through expanding their curricula.
Do you really think you are going to get a universial education at a reciently re-named bible college, or a former school of teaching?
