Not that going to a state school was a bad thing, but that if you’re savvy you can go to an expensive school for the same amount of money. I think this method is why it’s hard for poorer kids to go to great schools – they just don’t know stuff like that.

I went to Cleveland for a few days and since my in-laws have slooowww dial-up, I am so out of the loop, I’ll have to re-read some of your old posts… You turned in your resignation? Congrats! You can be a cubicle refugee like me.

In unrelated topics, I really like the way you’ve organized this post, with tons of links to like-minded entries. Your blog has taught me something about how to organize my own, thanks!

I also knew a guy in college who tried all of the pyramid schemes…they too failed.
I think I will write an article about what I did in college that allowed me to pay off my student loans quickly afterward.
