Universities had better get on the ball. they wont, because of the inbred inertia......its worse than the business world. the entire system needs overhaul, all the good reasons for college vanish when its determined that the product served was designed to keep you dumb...not as dumb as the dumber guy who didnt go, but dumb enough so the dumbest guy, who understood dumb and dumber long enough to choose another path, can be out maneuvered by general systemic functions operating under the sophistry flag, for just long enough that even mediocre graduates, can find a path, to pick a pocket.

benwood, Elite colleges are where you meet the "old boys" that run the country and will help you enter the cabal. They need ivy-covered halls, not an IPOD, for that. SG

There are many things about college beyond the actual book knowledge which can be "invaluble" - IF the college you pick has them AND a student takes advantage of them. 1) Having a ticket, having a credential. Many fields are credential mad, and use it as a subsitute for thought. 2) Personal contacts and friends. This depends on you school and how well you network. 3) Exposure to really different viewpoints. 4) The chance to experiment with different behaviours with little supervison. ************** Not many schools will have elements equal to 50 k debt... if they aren't Stanford or Harvard, they need to wake up.
