Another very common theme: “Let’s face it, unless you are a science or

engineering major where access to labs, higher math and developing the

intellectual discipline required in those fields in necessary, college is a

big, fat waste of time and money.”

Since a Bachelor’s degree is required for pretty much everything nowadays,

though, couldn’t the colleges just **sell** them, and at least save four

years of our kids lives?

(Oxford and Cambridge used to do just that with Master’s degrees. If you

had a Bachelor’s, for a fee of, I think, a hundred pounds, they’d convert it

to a Master’s. I bet they don’t do this any more — not for a hundred quid,

anyway.)
