I just don't understand what goes on in the mind of some of these folks. It's like people see the word "education" and their common sense does a complete disconnect, which is ironic in the extreme.
Why on earth did she keep going to school? Why did her teaching degree cost almost $200k? That's insane - especially considering the salary of an average teacher. And then she kept going?! WTF?
I'm totally on board with the idea that education is a good thing, but it does *not* have to cost you that much money. If you're getting an education for the sake of an education, then you should get one that you can afford. If you're getting a degree to become qualified in a particular career field, then you should evaluate your return on investment potential and make sure that your spending is proportional. Idiots running around getting degrees that cost them 10x their likely annual salary (or more!) are the definition of stupid, and no amount of "education" will improve it.
