Or you could whine no one is handing you an education for free.
I'm still paying off my loans, now its your turn, one way or another.

I could join the armed forces, but i currently don't feel like suffering life changing chronic injuries from depleted uranium or dying in wars i don't believe in all while my veteran's benefits are being cut. That's just me. To each their own.
How much did you pay for college? What is the proportion of what you paid compared to what i would pay if i matched your degrees? How much has tuition increased over the inflation rate? Was your tuition less because your school got more tax-dollars than they do nowadays? Did you get better financial aid because there was more to be gotten?
I wasn't whining, i was pointing out that perhaps an overall increase in worker productivity means exactly shit to me as far as what i have to spend money on. In fact, maybe the more productive the american/indian worker is the less of a chance i'll be able to get a job in my field.
I plan on paying for my education, i'll probably be paying for it for a long time. That is, if my job isn't exported to india by the time i graduate. Honetsly, i think that exporting jobs will make good economic advice until they start hiring indian economists instead of american ones.
