Fair point, though I'd add that information is free and knowledge isn't. If it were the case, student loans would be coming down instead of spiraling to record highs.

Not the best example though - student loans are used for getting a pedigree and personal contacts.

Who remembers Google Answers here? I made a few dollars on that back in the day....

Thanks for sharing this, I didn't know about it! What was the selection process, and your experience? Very curious to know!

Ah thanks for sharing your experience. Could I hit you up in a PM for some more details if it doesn't bother you?

In case you are open to the idea, my is [email protected]
