    College a good investment...if you graduate

    According this slideshow and article the lowest graduation rates at public universities range from 4-15%.

    The standard selling point for higher education is that college graduates earn far more money over a lifetime, but what about those who pay and/or borrow a significant amount of money to attend college, but who do not graduate? I wonder if a person with a high school diploma might be better off than someone with 2-3 years of a 4 year degree in any given subject.

    It got me wondering about the graduation rate at the Nazarene schools. Is that information publicly available?

    "Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us wthout end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."
