“By flooding the education market with an unlimited amount of easy-to-get funds, the GOVERNMENT has caused the cost of college to skyrocket, while the quality and value of a college degree has gone down.”

Ain’t that the truth!! The typical graduate of a public high school fifty years ago, even one who didn’t take the college prep classes, was vastly more qualified to enter the work force than most recent college graduates. We have people with master’s degrees walking around without much of the knowledge that used to be required of students in the eighth grade.

A friend of mine was bemoaning the fact that she cannot find a decent, honest person to handle money & bookkeeping chores in her & her husband’s auto business.

I advised her to look for someone over the age of 50.
