"Money, the root of all evil..."

It's not money, it's accessing worth into something

Student loans=the next bubble to burst

No, "for the love of money..."

Student loans=the next bubble to burst

 

It's sad when this statement is quickly becoming a reality. Too many people getting worthless degrees at high cost universities and then not being able to find work to pay off their commitments. In a day and age where a degree is a must for well paying work, you would think people would actually THINK about the degree they are seeking and what kind of FUTURE they will have with that degree. . .

Well said, Fade. Not only are students not picking degrees well as far as future earning potential, the education they are getting is very dumbed down in many/most schools these days. That's why you continue to see the USA slide downward at all education levels on the world stage. As one college professor I know said, it's all about butts in seats today.

 

I took a college course a couple of years ago at a local community college. It was a comp sci programming class. It had been many years since I had taken a college course and I was appalled by it. Teacher not showing up for approx 30% of the classes, usually with no warning. No tests, just complete the classwork. We didn't get through half the announced curriculum. I got an A but it felt like a C compared to when I got my degree. Which I didn't owe anyone a dime for, BTW. Worked my way through.

Oh, how I want to make this political!!!  But I'll refrain.  Unfortunately, little remains to comment on.

Go for the excerpt (reading) from the book rather than a short clip from the movie.
