The average college student today graduates with a $25,000 debt. That's obscene, to saddle a young person with that sort of handicap when they're just starting out in life. I wonder what that sort of investment gives in return. Do most of these students actually land jobs worthy of their expensive education? I wonder, really, the value of force feeding great literature or higher mathematics on kids who retain these lessons only until they can vomit the answers out on a standardized test. Most of America, even college educated America, gets its conversation material or clever witticisms from pop culture, not Julius Caesar.
Wouldn't a young person's time be better spent learning the skills to further his or her career? Or useful skills and abilities that would serve to form him or her as a whole human being?
