Now They are Pushing It In Kindergarten!

What are they thinking? To be honest, it was not them that got me riled up, but actually the local school system where I live. They are encouraging kids to think about college while they are in kindergarten! Now I understand thinking about what you want to do when you grow up is one thing. But trying to tell kids about college when they are barely in school!? The only thing that would be worse would be for it to be sponsored by the likes of Citi Group and JP Morgan (I know they are getting out, but they can still squeeze a dime out of it in the mean time). And it is kinda a pity, since most of them are competing against inexpensive Chinese and Indian students, which will push prices lower. This is normal in a free market, but the issue is that they are pushing the supply higher, and the demand for many programs is actually lower. To me, subsidized education (at any level) is just another corporate welfare program, since it cuts the cost for training employees. VIVA LA FREEDOM!
