Help, My Degree Is Underwater

Another article drawing links between the recession and learning. The only thing that changes, in my view, is the advisability (or not) of going $100K into debt to obtain a degree. The education is always worthwhile (yes, even in philosophy or arts; don't let anyone convince you otherwise) but the economics of the education system are rather less so. A degree is becoming, again, something only a rich person can afford - and something a poor person can't afford not to have. We need to redress education economics, while underlining the value of an education for all people in society.
