  1. How goes it........I've been following your blog for a while now. The Higher Ed Bubble has to be the most awakening thing that I've read. I've yet to read the attached articles within the HBR article but I'll get to them.

    I have a Finance degree and a vast amount of experience with LBO's, M&A and P.E., but to be honest, looking back on my 37 years on this planet, had I known than what i know now, I would have never stepped foot in a collage.

    People always "marvel" at what I do for a living and the assume I have a MBA from some tier 1 Biz School. I tell people all of the time it does not take an MBA nor a Finance degree to do what I do.......I know guys that will run circles around me as it relates to putting(lbo)deals together and I 'm talking guys that barely made it out of high school.

    Keep up the great work on this blog and best of luck with your dreams!
