Aye, tis' a sad joke that the social devolution taking place before our very eyes is also being orchestrated and controlled, manipulated and structured as such; Akin perhaps to the damnable practices of Kum Dung Il with the entire culture of N. Korea....not much difference is it?

Did you just compare going to college in America with the force indoctrination of North Korea? Oi, you really are crazy....

With average debt, unless it's not mentioned, they're not factoring in inflation which once considered would suggest debts have fallen. The segment about Ivy League schools interesting, I guess it comes down to your individual perceived talent much more than your accreditation. Working internationally my guess is that would play a larger part. The number of people who study social sciences seemingly just because they enjoy it also astounds me. Surely, you could simply focus on that in your spare time?

HA!
i made twice the amount of a bachelor degree holding graduate!?! sweet holy mother of irony!
doin what you ask?
waiting tables,bartending and event co-ordinator.
and i actually enjoyed my work.
still buying into that whole "you need to go to college if you ever expect to succeed BULLSHIT"?
well,if money is the parameter in which you gauge your success....you lost that race scooter.
think on this:a waiter makes double what you spent six years to achieve and the waiter has no debt.
think on that and despair.
you have been lied to.

We live in a society where most of us can basically find a job doing what we like and the money won't matter much, it's still way above what we "need", it's just the degrees of luxury that comes from it. And doing what you love is a damn fine luxury that's hard to put a price tag on.
