This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

If everyone who goes to college ends up financially better off from going to college, not enough people are going.

There are a lot of kids who have an 80 or 90% chance of doing well. There are also careers that might look financially viable now but end up redundant because of advances in technology.

You don't want a system where going to college can ruin you if you guess wrong on your career. Then again you don't want to make it too forgiving and induce everyone to go.

This change seems pretty minor, and I doubt the details are going to cause a bunch of kids to defer the workforce and get basketweaving majors.
