You raise two excellent points, and not just in reference to higher learning - how about our kids?

I have an 8 year old who barely gets off the couch, he's like a vegetable. I wish there was a smart person bootcamp i could mail him off to.

It's impossible to assess the tangibility of something like this. These are institutions of higher learning, what do you expect them to do? Start giving lessons in Beer Pong and how to gel your hair, BRO?

Brendan does raise a good point, it's not always the price of the education that matters, it's what you learn and how well you use it.

I'm glad you like this, it had been banging around in my head for quite some time now.
