"Then again, why go to college when you can buy these books on Amazon for $350? That's a savings of $55,650 off the MSRP..."

Eggsactly Batman!

My dear ole grandpappy was one smart cookie...

He had a saying: "If you want a degree, go to college... If you want an education, go to the library."

So true, but try telling that to HR. But that's a gripe for another day.

Sadly, the libraries in Santa Cruz county don't give you much of an education. When my son had to do a report on nuclear power plants, how they work, there was not one book on the subject. There were however 8 books on the shelves about the deadly human race destroying nuclear power plants that dot our countryside.
