[quote=deadzone] It annoys the hell out of my how much people overrate the value of higher education these days.[/quote]
Agreed. Graduate degrees and research is what university academics are all about. Also college football programs like OSU and Texas which are worth almost $1Bn dollars aren’t meant to fund undergraduate studies, but are used primarily for research. Where do the great minds of this planet go? They go to the universities that have the most funding, be it from football/alumni/undergraduate tuition fees/state grants etc.
