            I for one have no interest in going to college.

            If you don't take it, it can only good happen.

              Jon, you are just not thinking this through.

                    But remember, you can be a “liberal arts major” and meet these girls at a cost of $30K a year, or you could be a plumber that’s making money to meet lonely housewives…

                      They’d cost me a helluva lot more than 30k per year.
