Cost and Benefits Of College Degrees Need Detailed Explanation




[From article]
But they can’t do that, so families have to spend a quarter of a million dollars to give their kids the parchment equivalent of an IQ score. High school kids who get into good schools should present employers with their college acceptance letters and skip the going-to-college part.
Republicans need to force colleges to issue reports, just like drug companies, attesting to the average cost, and the average salary, for every degree. It will cost you $160,000 to receive a degree in Spanish literature and will take you 88 years to pay that back.
Trust Ann — liberals will go wild. That’s how you’ll know you’ve struck gold.

According to the colleges, their graduates are going to earn all sorts of money! At least that’s what they say when they’re conning teenagers into taking out colossal student loans.

Going after Big Education is all upside for the GOP. College professors and administrators already vote 98 percent for the Democrats. In fact, it’s a triple-play for Republicans: They would punish a liberal constituency, strike a blow against the principal vehicle of liberal indoctrination in America, and the middle class will love it.

Save The Newsstands

Save The Newsstands

If US taxpayer money is being used to bail out banks, insurance companies and the automobile industry why not newspapers and newsstands? Unlike cars and insurance companies newspapers are essential for democracy. Then again in Cambridge with one-party city and state government who needs newspapers?
