For the most part, most American public universities are good. But by saddling people with debt (and while $25k isn't terrible, it still affects someone's choices), it funnels people out of fields where they might have passion and add to society.

Exactly, if a company wants someone who isn't a damn robot and can think outside the box for some creative problem solving, we are absolutely useful. I make more money than my dad who majored in business, that makes me smile.

My immediate thought too!

Well, she grew up in Greenwich Village and had enough financial support to be able to start out in the business by taking an internship at Harper's Bazaar for which she was paid $200/week. While living in NYC. And shopping at Barneys. You can draw your own conclusions. http://www.luckymag.com/style/2013/06/…

Follow your dreams!!

Now, I teach at the college level, and so am biased. But I think two major variables that are undiscussed here are the ways that institutions of higher learning are continuing to elevate their tuition because there is always going to a certain subset of the population that will pay full freight, and as such colleges…

Or, like most other countries, we could not saddle our young people with mountains of debt in order to pursue tertiary education.

I really wish I could throw my Accounting Degree away and study Psychic Pottery right about now.

I completely agree with all of this, and it seems to be a large chunk missing out of the narrative. I work as an Executive Assistant, and I wouldn't have been hired without a degree. My writing skills that I learned over the course of my education are considered a bonus, but they're not strictly necessary to do my…

I think the BMW analogy is spot on. This isn't an RCT, and there are tons of factors that can't be measured. It totally sucks that a bunch of people with BA's are underemployed. But, here's what some of these statistics don't capture. A college degree is still an entry ticket. Just because you're working in a job…

Also, trying to get enough foam for a cappuccino out of almond milk... Ugh. Even if it wasn't iced.

Came here for this. THAT'S NOT EVEN A THING.

Yes!!!! I hate people who a- order iced cappucinos, and b- the coffee shops which "honor" that request and thus are part of the problem. My little Maine shop would say no, and explain why, but the shop I worked at in NYC made them. This helped me understand where are the crazy people ordering iced cappucinos in the…

ICED cappuccinos are not a thing.

I mean, it's also just the level of detail that went into describing the drink. I suppose I appreciate the dedicated journalism.

Seth MacFarlane called himself "the poor man's Paul Rudd," which, like, c'mon. If Seth MacFarlane is the poor man's version of any celebrity, it's the larcenous orangutan from Dunston Checks In.

Carrie Underwood, where are your shoes? That's how you lose a foot, young lady!

Also, no Seth MacFarlane, you are nothing like Paul Rudd. And you should never be allowed to even utter that lovely man's name.

Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson must cringe every time they see a new tweet from Chet.

Did Tom and Rita keep Chet locked in a crate as a kid? What is his deal?
