True, and all of it will not compensate for squandering the K-12 opportunity along with the lack of real world experience for sub-teens and teenagers. I could probably write a book about the experiences young people used to have prior to finishing high school, experiences unavailable to most today. A youth spent of the farm along with a good public high school education, followed by a hitch in the military taught lessons that no college can offer.

There is no doubt that Higher Education has not quicly adapted with technological and market forces.

When a university researcher has to fork over 50% of incoming grant money to pay for overhead and other "services", you know there's a problem.
