The thieves are running out of marks

About time.  College is a ripoff unless you get a hard, technical degree.  Period.

HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE: Debt Fears Drive U.S. Youth Away From College. “The cost of higher education in the US has soared in recent decades while median incomes have stagnated, pushing college increasingly further from the grasp of many Americans and limiting social mobility. Three-quarters of US repondents to a recent survey by the Pew Research Center said college was now too expensive for most Americans. In the past decade, tuition rates at public universities have risen 5.6 per cent a year above inflation, while fees at private college have increased by 3 per cent a year, the College Board says.”
