Universities have become (and have been for a long time) big business and an industry. <br /><br />Many kids that obtain a four year college degree are still uneducated but will be hired and paid more than someone that has been doing a given job for longer and know more. I find this scandulous and ideally would have college reserved for those that have some idea of what "they want to be" when they grow up. That's not going to happen because education is another industry tied at the hip to other sectors of our society. <br /><br />However, classrooms would easier to learn in with less students, most of whom really don't want to be there. This may lower the cost of education as well, once it became fashionable to be able to be hired and make a living (basically exist) without obtaining a degree that probably won't prove all that useful in the long run. It sounds snobbish but it's how I see things at the education level these days.<br /><br />RayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11044955.post-51833296465407462842010-02-22T08:07:48.204-05:002010-02-22T08:07:48.204-05:00Mustang has a post today on global warming.

My cousin is just now finishing up as an undergrad at the University of Kentucky. The cost of his past four years is such a rip off!
