Reader says In this economy it is all about your skills
Private colleges are too expensive. There has been A spike in applications. Students realize that having $50k in debt after college is not worth it.
In this economy it is all about your skills, not where you went to school. I am sure that the Harvard wannabees will disagree but most Americans go to college and go to work. Practical skills are in demand not esoteric degrees from $200k schools.
This is a global economy and we need to get people working not saddled with debt. I am also saying that going to a school that you cannot afford is foolish. In Ridgewood we are hung up on name brands and unless you want to pay for college for 20 years you had better get over it.
