I personally see college as an investment, and like all investments it costs money, because it is worth something to you. If you choose not to invest in yourself, you will suffer consequences, much like the janitor, and cafeteria staff mentioned in the article. It will not matter if college is free--if people do not learn to invest in themselves by studying, and being taught the proper values at home to be successful. If studying, and proper values are not reinforced at home we will be throwing money into an ether, which is very much the thing we are doing in California at this very moment. I often see older people working at checkouts at grocery stores, and I often wonder, what went wrong? Where was your ambition? I really resent the tone of the article, it seems to ring of an attitude of entitlement--he resents how much he had to pay for Graduate school? He didnt have to go to Graduate School, it was his choice, and he know the cost, and the stakes, and if he's not being compensated properly he should find another job, or another career field to major in. No, wait, proper compensation is also the responsibility of the President.
