Thanks for writing that article. I'm extremely disappointed in the CSU system's decision to give college credit for remediation classes. As a society we need to really reassess the purpose of higher education in light of increasing student debt, flat grad salaries, and decreasing quality of graduates.

Anecdotally, I'm still baffled at those in my extended social circle who followed a path similar to:

  - Graduate high school with sub-3.0 GPA
  - Admittedly they didn't "like school"
  - Attended community college or local state university
  - Proceeded to graduate in 5-8 years (to their credit some may have worked part-time or full-time)
  - Study general business, marketing, or a social science
  - Graduate college with sub-3.0 GPA
  - Graduate with no meaningful experience (internships, part-time work, etc.) in their desired career
  - Immediately and even in later years, get upset about undesirable job opportunities and/or low salaries and/or high cost of living
