[QUOTE="druryj, post: 3237026, member: 10465"] Which college did you attend that was this bad? Like I think I’ve said, I’ve been a student at a few, graduated from two of them, and worked at four of them. The ones I’m familiar with really weren’t that bad, and honestly, they actually struggled to keep tuition and fees low. When you’ve got required courses, especially at the graduate level, it actually costs the institution more often than not when you’ve got a class with say 12-14 or in it. Tony, if it weren’t for college educated people there would be no Doctors, Dentists, Teachers, CPAs, Lawyers, (okay I know I know), etc. Just think, you could get your tooth pulled at the barbershop, like back in the Wild West days. And if you got a cut or bullet in your leg, why just take a shot of whisky while the local sawbones hacked your leg off. Or if you got a toothache, you might die from infection because nobody was around to do viable research on such things as antibiotics. Not all college is a scam, in fact, I must defend it a bit here and say very few are. This that are are more than likely private, for profit schools that are really more a form of business than a legitimate education institution. But hey, again, share your college experience with us please, since you take the position that it’s just a scam. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
