#1 "Statistically you are rejected, and probablistically it is fair."

Given that so many of those applicants rejected by Harvard and other name schools are precisely as qualified as those accepted...This, my dears, is what happens during a recession, and why it's important to at least minor in a salable skill. Honestly -- what qualification does a degree in Latin America studies provide for college administration or health care research? Should she not have at least minored in business administration or biology?

#5 A man with a useless college degree can always drive a cab. A woman with a useless college degree can always work in an escort service.
