  • Having a college degree still positions you to make more money over your lifetime.
  • We still value a college degree, but now question the value we are getting for our money.
  • All nighters have gotten expensive thanks to the rising costs of coffee!
  • Too many students graduate from college without any practical experience in their chosen field.
  • Regional Accreditation is not better than National Accreditation despite what people may say. Both have pros and cons. What matters is what is best for the individual student.
  • Change is necessary. Both pocket and transformation kinds.
  • Thinking about college is making me want pizza and beer. Is that wrong?
  • Textbooks are still relevant and old school at the same time. It would be awesome if they could be adjusted to old school prices.
  • People can get a quality education online, just like they can get a poor education in person. We just tend to judge online more harshly.
  • Algebra is critical for your long-term survival. Wait, I might be mistaken.
  • A good chunk of current and future students will work in industries that have not been created yet.   This means that students should either major in something that is adaptable or in something they are passionate about.
