...but for the most part education has a stronger practical value

Graduates from universities are a dime a dozen if you allow imports. Many fields are in decline, for example, in computer science the number of commercial operating systems, language compilers, etc have decreased.

Most of the ones doing well are in sink industries like health care, law, government...the kind of areas that are strangulating the middle class. Example: what good is the education for the pharmacist? Its mostly a marketing position (conning old ladies).

My preference is the 1000 foot to 2000 foot level on the Big Island but over all I agree with your perspective. In fact tonight the admiral and I began discussing a small development project I have been contemplating the last 6 years on a piece of land we own near Aptos. Just something to help me gracefully enter old age...
