Actually, an education and the lottery have a lot more in common than they used to. Either way, you pay your money, and you take your chances.[/quote]
As the cost of education has increased, the quality has declined. Yes, that’s a broadly sweeping statement, but it’s been largely borne out by experience. I’ve hired college graduates that lack basic written communication skills, not to mention the absence of critical thinking/reasoning capabilities.
I’ve been shocked at times by the awful decline in even remedial communication abilities found in graduates from good schools, including a MasterCard Priceless moment when one of these kids referred to a client as “Dude”. That was awesome.
