I completed my BA in Business Admin/Finance in the early 70s after two years in the Army, in Germany.
I went further, starting grad school while working full time in a job that required a Bachelors degree.
During grad work, I studied economics, writing a paper comparing post WWII West vs. East German economic performance.
This is how I became an economic conservative, in time for the 1976 emergence of Reagan as a viable candidate.
Sadly the GOP over time lost the connection to solid free market philosophy of Reagan, instead of adopting crony capitalism and socialism lite.
My hope is the new Republican majority will take up where Reagan left off.
College was very worthwhile for me, but I regret not finishing my MBA—I was already fast tracking up the promotion ladder, so I thought at the time.
You can get what you want from higher education, as with many aspects of life. It is no substitute for solid experience.
Our daughter just graduated from a private, Christian college and her experience is the opposite of what is reported in this article. Christian parents need to realize that the public system of education, including that from most government universities, is worthless. Sure, private institutions are expensive, but your student WILL get an EDUCATION rather than an INDOCTRINATION.
