AND….AND…we practically had to get a dispensation from the pope so that she would be permitted to take a couple of required courses at the community college this summer just so she could graduate on time.

I hear from practically everyone that you NEED a degree anymore. Frankly, I’m not sure it’s worth the time and money.

/calculate the present value of the $$$ needed to pay off the college loans, and compare against future earnings…
//FEH.

I’m not convinced of it either. I feel like I’ve learned about 90% of the things I know outside of the academic world. Seems like education is more of a “supplemental” thing for me. That may just be me though. Frankly, I think it’s BS that people have put worth on a stupid paper that doesn’t really mean much. People can graduate a university but that doesn’t mean they know their left ass-cheek from from their right, and it sure as hell doesn’t guarantee they can survive in the real world.

Good night, gmsc!
