Re: Political memes, Posters, Funny Pics, Etc.

Of course it does. And I agree with the idea of prioritizing degrees although (looks around at modern society) I do think social work should be a high priority as well. Regardless, someone is getting wealthy off the college industry and spending can produce an ROI. You and I are closer than you may...

Re: Political memes, Posters, Funny Pics, Etc.

What is the ROI? I’ve seen estimates as high as 7:1 for the original GI bill. An educated workforce increases productivity and innovation. Totally agree on smart consumers but that can be fixed.
