Read This: How to Manage a College Education

We've worked a little bit with blog-network-now-social-network Brazen Careerist in the past. They are great folks over there doing great things. Their founder, Penelope Trunk, just published a great post on her blog about paying for a liberal arts education.

The idea of paying for a liberal arts education is over. It is elitist and a rip off and the Internet has democratized access to information and communication skills to the point that paying $30K a year to get them is insane.

While I fall into the category of paying a lot of money to go to a mid-tier school, I definitely agree with her. As we've seen and as you probably know, maintaining a blog is probably a much better job opportunity generator than using the correct font on your cover letter. Check it out:
