I had the Dept of Education (US Govt) call me for the second time today regarding a loan.. some arab sounding dude gave them my phone number.
American formal education is nothing more than another money making industry that has some tangible benefits sometimes (if daddy has money) but, at one time was an easy ticket (if you had any smarts and could avoid Vietnam) to a nice job and good living.
In the 50's and 60's and somewhat in the early 70's, a BS meant a gauranteed demand for you. A good job.
But population and loss of industry meant by the time Papa Bush got in in 1988 you had a lot of competition for the best industry and technical jobs.
Now I don't know what they are good for except getting a nursing degree or medical something and going into deep dept.
