Title: "It seems as though you can't go a week without some idiotic myrmidon yelling, 'there oughta be a federal law

My daughter has a great education. No job opportunities, but a great education. She owes about 40K on it, working at a Wal*Mart salary. She made 13K this year and has to PAY $60 to the IRS. HOPE AND CHANGE!!!

I don't see that happening at all. Of course not. I didn't say eliminate college. I said de-legitimize it. Right now there is an assumption that college = education. Both sides are false. Yes, there are great college educations : I fully expect to send my daughter to a four-year college. But many universities deliver a lousy or useless education (see: occupy wall street protesters ). And many non- traditional forms are superior in many ways to the typical college experience ( though still below the best). My goal is to break that assumption so colleges have to compete as one of several socially-acceptable forms of post-secondary education, experience and credentialing.
