What two more childish reasons could there be for crying about student loans? And then there those who decided to use the deal the Military gives and have to put off or moderate civilian careers as they fulfill their military obligations. The story only proves that the analysis of those who report the news is most often dumber than a bag of hammers.

Problem is, a bachelor degree, any kind of bachelor degree today is the functional equivalent of a HS diploma 20, even 10 years ago. You don't get into the door without one today. We had a person who was the lead analyst on one component of our Epic program. She was involved from installation on up and was the acknowledged expert on that component. She decided to retire (thought she's pretty young, her husband's pretty wealthy). Upper management begged her to help out for a while on a part time basis until others could be trained up. She agreed. Management put her new job status through HR. HR came back to her and told her she was unqualified for the job - no bachelors degree. It's the average ones who pay to get a Psychology degree with a 2.3 average that are getting screwed.
