RE: Higher Education in the USA - Ripoff or Merely a Lost Cause?
The people pursuing degrees in your list also seem to include a disproportionately large number of "eternal students;" the ones who are currently "getting their 3rd PhD," largely as a means to avoid dealing with life on any realistic level.
I swear, half those degrees were the result of some rich alum needing to satisfy their precocious kid... "We'll donate $10M to your endowment fund if you'll create a degree called 'Beanie Baby Studies'"
Money talks.
let em.
as long as I don't have to pay for ANY of it with tax money.
I think perhaps the "eternal students" know they'll never claw their way out of debt so they stay in the institution to defer payments, perhaps in the hope that one day they'll die before they need to pay up.
You almost had it! Except now a day you would want called it CryptoKitties because that’s the sudden new fad. Excuses me while I go face palm for a while slightly in a corner.
