      Shocking how few students ever ran the numbers on their student debt long-run vs. expected income considering even a pretty limited spread of likely career trajectories. I don't think most of us ever had a single adult suggest doing this as we made these decisions *in our teens*

      This hasn’t happened so far partly because schools have no incentive to educate & people have bought into the “get a degree to live a good life” story for decades. Seeing the sentiment slowly changing now w internet & models like @LambdaSchool & @MissionU.

          Given his work with Pencils Of Promise, I expected more to be honest. That being said, I only know what the press reports so wouldn't judge. Im glad you are progressing so quickly in the right direction though. So ty for that!

          I think they realized how difficult it was to scale that mode, had regulatory pressure, and an escape hatch all at once

          You guys face the same troubles, right? Not talking about the escape hatch.
