College “Educated”

It’s 9am on Independence Day. Some kid, eager to bring on the festivities, decides to start the party early by shooting off a few firecrackers not 50 feet away from my window.

Independence indeed.

A little earlier, following a link from Steven Pressfield, I stumbled upon Fabius Maximus’ blog and read this worthwhile gem College Education In America, Another Broken Business Model.

People are less willing to borrow for college; lenders are less willing to tend to parents and students. Students and parents know a liberal arts education is seldom worth the cost either financially or intellectually. Now they increasingly wonder if the diploma is worth the cost.

Ain’t that the truth.
