but Jen made the point that she'll have no debt. In fact she said she'll have money in the bank.

I was under the impression that money was there after undergrad work....no telling how much she'll be spending post grad.

I think this is one thing people being laid off right now are learning...the dreaded "overqualified" rule.

I'm kinda glad I wasn't around last night...I have some pretty strong feelings on education and degrees and though I think Jen probably has the right reasons, a lot of people waste MUCHO time and money on degrees they don't need and that are NOT a job help.

There are other ways to learn things! And if it isn't going to help you in life, why pay so much for that piece of paper / sheepskin / whatever they make them diplomas out of these days?
