RE: I’ll be blunt. It’s not worth it.

So, where does one go to for college?

Did you look at the list?

The schools Barack Obama went to as an undergraduate are on the most expensive list -— Columbia and Occidental.

at least 12 of the schools on that list are what I see as middling, upper middle class, politically-correct indoctrination puppy mills that charge stupidly high prices, yet don’t have the cachet of a Harvard or Yale.

It may depend on their endowments as to how long they can last, but I generally see these schools as facing a major crisis in the not-to-distant future, as reality starts to hit.

In the 35 years since I first attended college, the tuition at my school has increased by over 1000%. Since graduation, my paycheck has not exactly kept pace.

No, it's not. Especially when they major in stupid worthless majors, such as: feminist studies, cultural studies, social studies, or even just plain old fashion liberal arts. Huge waste of time and money. No one in the corporate world gives a damn any longer. There are probably all of 3 majors that matter. They are business and engineering, sciences to a lessor degree. Of course, there is always law if you have no conscience, like the World needs more lawyers.

Read something recently that made a good point about trade skill training. Upper collegiate studies are now nothing more than propaganda to certain corporations and kissing up to the professors of the Ivy League schools. Screw them and their Marxist agendas. Get a skill boys and girls.

College of the Ozarks, tuition free due to the student work program, very conservative.

One tax that I would support; tax on colleges endowments of schools that don’t give sizable financial aide to their students.
