I think that you are correct.
It is analogous to the driver who has had many crashes, accidents and near misses compared to the one with no incidents of any sort. Who is the better driver? The knee-jerk reaction is the latter but experience certainly qualifies the former in my view. By the way, i would make an excellent commecment speaker. My tale of screw-ups ...

Yawn
Wow, yet another article questioning whether graduate degrees are worth it. Are you seriously trying to make this argument? I find this article to be seriously flawed, almost irresponsible. First of all, that is a huge generalization. There are definitely some graduate degrees, like masters in sociology, that will probably not ''pay off.'' ...

Access to higher ed
First, Theo says that the way we pay for higher education in America is problem of even larger proportions. The universities themselves are hooked on the drug of guaranteed, easy access loans.

To paraphrase, Riggins says to Lyla, “You know, there’s paperwork to complete, but it’s basically a done deal.” The most tragic part of Riggins’s college acceptance is his lack of college readiness. If there was a ...

Re: Misses the point
Keep in mind that tuition increases closely mirror increases in health insurance premiums over the past decade or so. As a nation, we have not dealt with this huge ball and chain around our collective necks. And as a people-intensive business, colleges and universities have felt the weight of this ball and chain--and passed tuition increases ...

Way to Shake it Up, Spitzer!
Intellectually this is a fascinating idea. While others may have seen it before, I think it's a great way to rethink we pay for college. Politically, this may be difficult to implement, but Spitzer has been willing to slay sacred cows in the past. And perhaps in order to regain some sanity in the way we pay for college, we should butcher the ...

At One Time 20 Years Was the Length of a Mortgage
Everyone wants to make investing in education more affordable, but a 20-year commitment even at the levels Governor Spitzer suggests is a heavy yoke for a college graduate to endure into middle age. There is no need to pay $50K a year for four years of college. Starting at affordable, high-quality community and state institutions or, for the ...
