Comments on: A Still-Inflating Bubble https://www.isegoria.net/2010/06/a-still-inflating-bubble/ From the ancient Greek for equality in freedom of speech; an eclectic mix of thoughts, large and small Wed, 22 Apr 2026 02:09:17 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.6.1 By: Ross https://www.isegoria.net/2010/06/a-still-inflating-bubble/comment-page-1/#comment-4171 Ross Fri, 11 Jun 2010 01:44:28 +0000 http://www.isegoria.net/?p=6522#comment-4171 First thought that comes to mind: after years — decades — of Federal support for (weapons) labs at school and Pell Grants and Sallie Mae and… so that college students can buy incredibly expensive educations they may not truly need, I can say this bubble has been inflating for a while. If I had it all to do over again — the four years of bachelor, four years of graduate school, the lost work time, the loans — I wouldn’t. But that’s a different topic. I just don’t think the juice is worth the squeeze for most college educations.

(Not that learning skills, networking, and knowledge aren’t important, just that the current loan-supported student-coddling system isn’t the best way to deliver these goods.)
