Colleges sell DEGREES, not EDUCATION. Work places then train people with what they actually need to know for that job. Sometimes I think a college degree is just a fancy way of saying "I can learn good."

That said, I am going for my 2nd Master's Degree. It's $3500 per class, but I am following my 12th grade Physics teacher's advice. "When it comes to higher education, if someone isn't paying the bill FOR you, you shouldn't be going." My job is paying, as long as I get above a certain grade for each class. They paid for the first Master's, too, and the last year of my undergraduate. ENGINEERING.

As a warning, that can go sour - if everyone uses the company's offer to pay for part of college, it would likely have to give up that benefit...but, yeah I can agree with much of that statement.

I like Physics...
