I know I'll probably be in the minority in this, but the entire higher education situation is just ridiculous. And I fully realize how much I've benefited from higher education.
Higher ed is hopefully the next big bubble to pop. Young kids today are being saddle with ridiculous amounts of college debt that stay with them to the grave. It isn't acceptable and it can't continue on this trajectory indefinitely. My daughter is in kindergarten so we are a long way off from these decisions. But there is no way things can continue at the same pace for the next ten plus years. What will happen... I have no idea.
I know people are playing the game because they feel they have to and I don't mean this post as a criticism of anyone. I just see it as an entire aspect of life today that is completely ridiculous.
