[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 413010, member: 265"] You didn't say that. If so, then I'm surprised it took so long for her to find something like the job with the opera. I'd guess this was just bad luck; I had similar problems dues to that early on. Doesn't make it any easier for either of you to swallow, of course. As for the rest, I didn't give the URL to refute that part, but to show that things are usually not as bad as you made them out to be. You won't find a stronger advocate here for lowering tuition (or, at least, stabilizing it) and for young people studying what will bring them a decent living in the future. But remember that all the good counsel in the world won't stop a student with strong religious convictions from studying religion, despite the truly abysmal employment prospects in the field (see What It's Worth on that). Not supporting religion studies because it won't provide a steady income won't stop the convictions from arising. And it makes a lot more sense to give responsibility for religious guidance - which people [I]won't[/I] stop seeking - into the hands of people who know something about religion. So lower the costs, yes, but we have to be very careful how we structure education when we really don't have a clear idea of what kind of education we'll need in the future. [/QUOTE]
