Cisco,


I think we ALL sometimes feel insecure about how smart we are.


I further feel insecure about how smart the people are in college, teaching our kids and grandkids and getting BIG bucks to do it. Some are deserving of a lot of money and some are not.


THAT is the reason that although I wish that higher education would be free to all, I think it would also be a potential financing mess, with a lot of people abusing the system. And drinking in huge profits that they don't deserve. If only things were as simple and clear as they looked when I was young.


Disclaimer; So far all college education of both generations of our descendants have been paid for by US. AND all of those descendants are gainfully employed. Look at this girl...proud? Yes! BUT if they had not attended college and were gainfully employed, I would feel the same.
