Working hard to shirk

The Debt Game | Clarissa's Blog



"- Enrollments at real universities – especially the really affordable, public ones – is plummeting. In the meanwhile, enrollments at shady online diploma mills that are much much MUCH more expensive than what real universities charge is soaring. I insist that you can get a very high quality education in this country without getting into any debt at all. So people who get into these mountains of debt are making a choice motivated by something very different than love of education."

Australians also have this disease. They think if they pay a lot of money to someone with a very strong, authoritative aura, the magic will rub off and they won't need to work hard for what they want.
