Give US a Break?

Lots of questions that the interviewers rarely ask.

Can you have this discussion without finding ways to cut the actual cost of producing a high quality liberal arts education? The marketplace – education is a market? Can we agree on measures of quality in the higher education marketplace (other than what is popular)? Should cost and the earning potential of a concentration or major be a legit consideration for education? The public and private things makes it all too complicated.

Is college the new state-subsidized bubble?

Should we all suffer? Should we all get a turn? Time for us all to just pay for the education of America’s citizens? Can we afford to continue to let education be a market?

We need real discussion.

Peace.
