So who's dumber now?
Hard to say really. Our local community college is trying to morph into another big 4 year college that we don’t need. It brings in lots of taxpayer dollars but shuts out the community.
My sister is taking some kind of course for certification in business management but it requires a nearly full classload that she wouldn’t have needed 10 years ago. She even had to take a course in socialization in college life. She’s 50 years old and has 5 kids, she hasn’t had a social life in years.
I went to the local community college. I couldn’t afford to go anywhere else. After that I went to the state university. I never went into debt or lived beyond my (extremely meager) means. I was a millionaire at age 40—multimillionaire at 43—retired at 53 to live on my investments. Is my life heaven on earth? YESSSSSSSSS! I’m an average American. If I can do it anybody can do it.
