Why do they love to go to school? To learn? No - they can do that with the Internet today. They want a higher paying job, nothing else.

The higher the stated minimum wage gets, the lower the real minimum wage gets. You can be certain all other expenses will increase and job benefits will decrease to compensate.

You can learn how your roommates parents started a billion dollar company (i.e. How to be successful) at Harvard. You can't at your state school -- because your roommates are playing video games or went downtown for the night.
