Who needs expensive Ivy League education when you can practically make money from the Internet hustle. Aaah you young minds have a lot to learn.

i’d hardly call harvard’s decision to drop loans as a financial aid component “upping the ante” - princeton made that same decision seven years ago.

sounds like the rest of ivy league is finally waking up!

I’m mad also. I paid ridiculous fees during the late 1990s and nobody is standing in line to give me money back. I’m under-employed due to the parents of these children hogging up all better paid job slots.

Meanwhile I’m responsible, purcjhase a house three years ago with a fixed rate 30 year note. What do they do? The provide for a 5 year lock in for people who bought way too much real estate on teaser rates. Yet these same people get to have a large tax break for the interest they’ve paid.

I’m SICK AND TIRED of seeing responsibility smashed and destroyed. Now I’ve got the AMT banging on my heels, not being able to make more (and take it home) with my part time business yet I’m forced to work more because of ever increasing fuel, food and other costs.

Responsibility is for idiots, and I am an idiot. I should have guessed the bottom would fall out while the 1960’s generation continues to make policy.

Ivy league schools are completely overrated, and I don’t want to attend one ever. Even if I had the grades and had jumped through the right hoops.
