As a society we not keep inflating the costs of higher education. But you are right, it make take awhile.Henry Catehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03097237237859928969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18436046.post-14199512406503110262011-04-27T19:01:37.810-07:002011-04-27T19:01:37.810-07:00We recently moved to a new city, expecting that we...We recently moved to a new city, expecting that we would be able to buy a new house here. However, there are so many people who have an interest in seeing that prices don't fall much. Banks, sellers, real estate agents, municipalities dependent on tax revenues and others don't want to see the prices fall to what is probably a truer value.<br />I can't help wondering how much of a similar effect there will be with education. It is hardly in the interest of alumni for there to be a general revelation that a number of degrees aren't worth as much as they paid. And as long as enough people are willing to shell out for them, the system will remain self-perpetuating. Others will be forced to participate in the college racket because they don't want to be the one at a job interview who doesn't have the baseline credential.<br />I'd love to see the bubble burst. In the next couple years, before my kids hit college age. But I'm cynical.Sebastianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04009107720601931341noreply@blogger.com
