    Thanks! I thought it was relatively well-balanced and thought out. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

    It is definitely a difficult balance and a troubling situation. The value of a college degree has not stayed equal with the costs and debt one has to take on to get the little piece of that says, "look at me, I learn good." I agree with you that there are lots of required classes that do little to further our employment prospects. Having gone to a liberal arts college, that definitely resonates with me.

    I too lucked out and have been able to find engaging and provoking employment post-graduation, but there are far too many young people whose education and skills have not translated into viable economic options. As a society, I think it is important for us to reevaluate these educational and economic systems, because it has far-reaching implications in many different sectors - education, employment, home ownership, marriage, child-rearing, and more. The real question is, how do we fix it?
