You do a startup and you quickly find that no job that needs doing is below you. That&#39;s a valuable education right there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9633767.post-8363012547101052462009-11-30T18:23:51.403-08:002009-11-30T18:23:51.403-08:00Berkeley was indeed terribly cheap from what I hear. Still, the larger picture of which this phenomenon is a subset is disquieting.Wavefunctionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14993805391653267639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9633767.post-11393241652871603012009-11-23T13:38:09.344-08:002009-11-23T13:38:09.344-08:00People whine about the cost of medical which is incredibly better than it was 50, 40, 30, 20, 10 years ago (trust me) -- the diagnostic tests are much less risky, the drugs better (but far from perfect) etc. etc. This just has to cost more. <br /><br />It cost 15 K a year in &#39;86 for a year at Cornell (my son) and 20K 4 years later. No one seems to complain about a product which although quite good hasn&#39;t really improved that much (although the surroundings in which it is administered have become much more posh).<br /><br />Retread/LuysiiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9633767.post-69062916581627847492009-11-23T13:26:10.512-08:002009-11-23T13:26:10.512-08:00Even at 10K/year it&#39;s a tremendous bargain. 50 years ago a first rate Ivy league education was 5K/year, now tuition and fees at the elite women&#39;s college where I&#39;m auditing QM is 50K/year. They&#39;re getting a great education if the QM course is any indication, but it&#39;s no better than John Wheeler or Richard Feynman teaching freshman physics back then. Will their granddaughters parents be paying 500K/year in 50 years.<br /><br />Retread/LuysiiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9633767.post-28881096843936219202009-11-22T18:58:51.605-08:002009-11-22T18:58:51.605-08:00Climategate: how the MSM reported the greatest scandal in modern science<br /><br />http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/jamesdelingpole/100017451/climategate-how-the-msm-reported-the-greatest-scandal-in-modern-science/<br /><br />Climategate: the final nail in the coffin of &#39;Anthropogenic Global Warming&#39;?<br /><br />http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/jamesdelingpole/100017393/climategate-the-final-nail-in-the-coffin-of-anthropogenic-global-warming/Lucifernoreply@blogger.com
