This goes against the principles of the Free Market and I don't advocate it, but I'm surprised that there aren't calls in the media and by students, for price fixing to combat the evil higher education price gougers. It seems likely they a long with the universities themselves would call for such things in other parts of the economy. I guess the schools indoctrination has routed out such thoughts when it would pertain to them. It would be funny to see those schools sweat with worry, if there was a push for that.

This will be fun for me. I got called into the office last year...Boss man says the Board of Trustees require that my position now has a 4 year degree. I'm at the point of no return now, I've accrued college debt and if I quit now, I'll have nothing to show for it.
I already have two years experience, but I'm SOL if I ever get laid off. Scrolling down the jobs classified shows "4 Year Degree REQUIRED" on every single job opening. It's the new high school degree or you're stuck in retail (did that for six years). When I graduated, a hard work ethic and a willingness to be taught would get you really far in a non-technical profession (you know, like doctors and such).
do they flog people for refusing to buy into their fear tactics?
The money supply is already inflated. Some theories suggest that it's just sitting in bank vaults ready to be loaned out. If it starts to be circulated on a large scale, well, it's gonna be like the gates opening at the start of a horse race.
If something bad happens, we will be blamed. If something good happens, we will get no credit. If nothing happens, we will be forgotten.
Tell that to Lisa Welchell who played Blair from the Facts of Life. The actress lost her entire fortune in the late 80s to the market crash. Too bad she didn't buy gold.

I'd call them the opposite of someone who held on to U.S. dollars and didn't get any of it back after even 17-26 years. Gold isn't a get-rich-quick scheme. It's more like a 'dear-god-this-shit-better-be-worth-more-than-a-dollar-one-day' scheme.
I closed out a $300 bank account in 2010 and bought $12 silver dollars. If I had left that money in a bank account, I'd have earned 0.25% interest or something on it, every year (then you have to subtract about a 3-4% loss of the dollar's purchasing power every year). The melt value of that silver today is worth about $315. So I did better than I would have if I had left that money in a piddly savings account. I'm not going out and buying Jaguar convertibles, but . . .

Yep, in China you pretty much need a degree to get a job as a salesperson earning next to nothing in a shopping mall store. The only reason for that: a glut of meaningless, inapplicable degrees--the new "high school diploma" that everyone is expected to have. The only difference: the degrees were cheaper because it was the parents paying for them, and guaranteeing payments for them, and not the government.
I'd call them long term investors.

that's because she was entirely invested in the stock market? Or what? had she even a house?
