Is higher education worth what we are spending?

Depends on how it is used. In this case I think they knew what they were doing. Do you use your gifts for good or evil?

I'd say that one was done as an attention geter. At least they kept the "J".

But sadly it could have been inadvertent.(pun intended)

I suppose someone could have done that intentionally. If so, they could have considered it their resignation had they worked for me.

One of our buildings was being remodeled some time back, and both the restrooms on the 1st floor were being completely redone.

I remember talking with the general contractor about the sign they placed in front of them. I pointed out that if they would simply take down the sign, someone would likely come by and resolve that specific issue for them. The sign simply read; out of odor.

The answer is certainly varied. For me (and most others in my age group) higher education generally meant higher pay (at least starting pay).

Today, with my favorite burger flipper receiving $15 an hour plus benefits, it might be different. I had been a test engineer for a couple years before my salary equaled $20.00/hour.

The market place would normally establish that based on supply and demand. Today, with so many people holding diplomas I suspect that the supply far out ways the demand. But, here in Tucson, construction companies are constantly on the search for carpenters, plumbers and electricians (laborers - not engineers). There is a surplus of applicants for the engineering positions thus driving starting wages down.
