"I am thinking that this entire education thing is a money making venture rather than really providing value to employers and students alike."
It has become a money making instrument plain and simple. Apparently no one cares. Education costs have risen at a percentage far greater than health care, yet no politician or pundit says a damn thing about it. Colleges are turning out generation after generation of indentured servants. If educational institutes were really concerned about the future of students, they would not let them take over a 100 thousand dollars in loans and then major in a field with no job prospects or continue on to graduate/law school in order to accrue another 100 thousand+ dollars in loans. Then there is the whole personal responsibility issue here. How can someone justify taking a 150K in loans to enter a field were getting a job that pays decently is increasingly hard to do. A society of automatons following a path that no longer works. It's almost like they didn't learn to think before college. Imagine graduating law school with 250K in loans for undergrad and law school and facing the job market described in the original article.
