Went to 2 very good private schools on the East Coast, and you don't know much about what is going on with college education today, do you?
a. college degrees are becoming more and more worthless, as more people are getting them with greater ease as well.
b. the economy sucks, so your degree doesn't have value right now.
c. college, especially in the private schools (I graduated about 15 years ago and the price was reasonable, even for a private school), is way over-valued, when you consider the cost of attendance and the payoff when graduating (bad payoff considering the terrible job market).
d. you are clueless, because you have probably not had too much adversity in your life, so grow up.
