O colapso da educação nos Estados Unidos

The following is what PIMCO's Bill Gross had to say about the pathetic state of college education in America in one of his recent newsletters.....

All of us who have been there know an undergraduate education is primarily a four year vacation interrupted by periodic bouts of cramming or Google plagiarizing, but at least it used to serve a purpose. It weeded out underachievers and proved at a minimum that you could pass an SAT test. For those who made it to the good schools, it proved that your parents had enough money to either bribe administrators or hire SAT tutors to increase your score by 500 points. And a degree represented that the graduate could “party hearty” for long stretches of time and establish social networking skills that would prove invaluable later on at office cocktail parties or interactively via Facebook. College was great as long as the jobs were there.

It wouldn't be so bad if college was not so darn expensive. Tuition alone at many schools is 30, 40 or even 50 thousand dollars a year.
According to recent Pew Research Center polling, 75% of Americans believe that college is too expensive for most Americans to afford.
