a disillusioned architect

Have US $72,000.00 to spare? Then model-rocks has something to sell you.

My Two Diplomas from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
They hang on a wall and cost $70K - so they MUST be art

A sardonic (and depressing) read, of the scam that is higher education.

    It is part of the Singaporean Dream. Get good qualification/diploma/degree, work, get 5C, make 2 babies or more if you can afford it.

    We've are born and raised this way, they're having a rough time maintaining this dream..

    SOOoo many higher education 'paths' now, soon it will reach a peak/trend such as we see in more developed countries.. gah!

    Exactly. Just a scant ten years ago, a graduate had an almost guaranteed bright future. Now, it's a gutter job market that awaits us. :(
