Lets just be honest and admit that the elitist class of all political stripes have been playing this game for quite some time. Post secondary education is about the money first and foremost, with political indoctrination running not too far behind. Other than that it's a four year party time. The entire system is a scam.
Ironic as a college education is overrated as far as success in life goes. Street smarts matter more and in Robert Kiyosaki's 4 Income Groups, being an employee or a self employed doctor is at the bottom of the food chain. Tax wise, you are better off having a large business or being an investor of real estate, stocks, etc. Your tax rates are lower and you have a lot of deductions to boot!
