[QUOTE="djinwa, post: 986441, member: 8265"] I’m been further pondering this interesting thread, which illustrates how things are a bit backward. In a free market, one would first identify demand, and then provide it to customers. In our centrally planned economy, the government decides what we need, and when too much is produced, we have to create a demand. We had a housing bubble because government decided everyone should own a home even if they couldn’t afford it, and so policies were implemented to provide money to make too many houses, until the collapse. We are now in an education bubble. Government has decided that every child should go to college. They make it easier by providing grants and cheap loans. How many kids would go to veterinary school if they had to pay the full cost? In addition, the government schools decide how many slots to make available to students. So after pumping out so many graduates, you have to create a demand for them and ask producers why they don’t use them more. Have to remember that education is an industry, and they are happy to take money and produce students. Don’t really care what happens to them afterwards. And by the way, with all the government money thrown at colleges, they can raise prices at will – tuition has gone up 3 times the rate of inflation. There are many worthy students like MM who unfortunately have to use the system we have. Just seems we need to be more aware of how things really work. Which is why I’ve started a site to educate on the big picture: [url=http://www.thebigscam.org]www.thebigscam.org[/url] [/QUOTE]
