Struggling to get into college?

CNN reported today that more students are struggling to get into college because of financial barriers and a shaky economy.

Wait a minute. Who is responsible for the shaky economy? Perhaps the last thirty or forty years of college graduates?

Why would you want to go to college if the results of today's economy are in the hands of they who graduated?

Even if one didn't do well in college and still landed a job on Wall Street just because he or she knew someone and was let in the back door, they should have been imbued with some sense of responsibility by the time they earned their diploma.

If today's failing economic structure is made up of those who recognize only Ivy League graduates, perhaps therein lies the problem.

In the immortal words of a famous Yale Bonesman George W. Bush: "Heck of a job!"
