Some colleges offer courses like ethics, logic, and philosophy (honorable mention: economics).<br /><br />These courses can change any open-minded student's life for the better, by giving them incredible "tools" they can use to further educate themselves and make good decisions for their entire lives. They can teach students to be kinder and more considerate people while also giving the students the ability to be more self-reliant. The benefits come from all sides.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11284353.post-68520223783796897732011-03-22T13:15:48.962-07:002011-03-22T13:15:48.962-07:00I feel strongly that not everybody needs to go to ...I feel strongly that not everybody needs to go to college.

Before the GI bill, mostly just the rich were educated. <br /><br />Most folks may not realize that if you are a vet and you don't use your GI bill benefits, you can now pass them on to your kids.Margie's Musingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11206751037182686016noreply@blogger.com
