The Higher Education Bubble

This underscores two things I've been saying for a long time:

  1. Education should be about bettering yourself, not maximizing your profitable potential. That's why I'm such a proponent of the Liberal Arts.
  2. For those who believe it is about maximizing your profitable potential, you'd better check your math. There are some that have value, but for most, you're probably better offer taking that money and putting it into a high-earning investment.

So, yesterday was the third day of school for my daughter and already I’ve made her late to the bus. No, that didn’t take long at all.

As a consequence, I got to spend the next 25 minutes driving her to school while she lectured me about time management. Worse still, her advice was solid. Yeah, that stung a bit. I think I’ve learned my lesson…hopefully.
