believe me, he already does this.
always struck me as a little optimistic / frivolous (especially given the circumstances), and to be honest i'm a little surprised at hearing that from you, broco. mind that i think i take something of a marxist attitude with respect to what actually gets published in this information age of ours, so that's got something to do with it, but.. i'd be curious to hear examples of when this has been genuinely helpful.
also- yeah, it's times like these that i'm very glad to be a student at a (cultureless, isolated) state university. my tuition (along with whatever else they charge me) amounts to right around $9k/yr, going to have graduated after six semesters, and, hell, as if i didn't need money to live, they pay me a bit more than that annually in my bullshit IT capacity - 15/40 hours depending on whether class is in session @10.60, if anybody's curious. |

Depending on how you handle your education, a private college can be worth the debt. Mine was. |
yeah, hey, credit for actually wanting to invest in an undergraduate education. i don't know what kind of public colleges jersey has; uconn, for its part, is pretty well-regarded, and hell if that's prevented me from counting the vast majority of it as bullshit from start to finish. |
