Quote:I don't buy this education inflation argument.

The reason a high school diploma or AA is devalued has to do with the new economy and the information technology age along with the flight of manufacturing from the usa.

You want to be a mechanical engineer? Great, you're gonna need a bachelor's, or more than likely a master's to fully understand the intricacies of that discipline. An associate's it hs diploma is just not enough coursework to be technically proficient in these new economy industries.

I'd be very careful of devaluing education just because it's gotten too expensive...

The better solution would be to pinpoint where and when tuition costs have gone up, and address that issue.
