If people want to blow their money on a very expensive humanities degree, what's the big deal? :dunno:

It's not compulsory to go there and I can't see what the big deal is.

I do wonder if they've done their homework here. What does the market research say about the size of the potential market and it's stability? I mean we're on the verge of a dollar default in august, surely these people know what that means in regards to starting a new business venture, right in the here & now?

There's seeing the glass half full...

There's seeing the glass half empty...

Then there's seeing a cracked glass with jagged edges coated with cyanide heading straight for your face...

But enough of such breezy optimism, let's go straight to the Crumple perspective on life... ;)
