If you want to compare the historical higher ed system with the modern-day system, let's see it. I am actually interested in your analysis. I believe you would have to scope it to what eras are historical vs modern, types of programs, and what the success criteria is.

What I am saying is over time, the value of a college degree is a great investment and many of our greatest leaders were college educated. To make blanket statements that the entire thing is a failure....well I don't believe it. I am thankful we have solid higher education system because I am able to use modern technology and advanced medicine.

My counter argument to your post at 36. Obama went to Harvard. Case closed.
