How Much is a College Degree Really Worth?
I can still remember the words of my parents as I entered senior year at the Catholic University of America, “We’re not paying 80K for you to have a dead-end job in life.” For Morris Catholic parents who have seniors, the cost of a college degree is probably in the forefront of their minds. We may not want to voice it, but each of us has probably wondered if the degree is really worth the expense.
BusinessWeek has this post today which tries to answer the question.

Haiti Vitamin Collection a Success
Thank you to everyone who brought in donations as part of Catholic Schools Week! We collected 11,415 vitamins- that’s a lot of vitamin C! Mrs. DuBose will be traveling with her church to deliver these vitamins in April. Again, thanks to all who participated!
Is Your Catholic College Pro-Life?
Over the years, I’ve been asked about the Catholicity of certain colleges. If you’re wondering about how your child’s university stands up, be sure to read this article. It’s a bit disturbing to say the least.
Will We Even Have Textbooks in Five Years?
The launch of the iPad from Apple is not just another gadget into the mix of all that we currently have. It’s meant to be much more and book publishers are entering into dynamic and deeply creative conversation about the future of textbooks. And softcovers. And magazines. You can throw traditional newspapers into the mix as well.
Just have a listen to the podcast we did with Charles Nutt, newspaper editor. Even Charles is realistic enough to see how the entire industry is in the midst of radical change.
I stumbled onto this discussion by Craig Mod as Twittered by Michael Hyatt, CEO of Thomas Nelson (the world’s largest Christian book publisher). Craig discusses the ways in which he’s excited about what the iPad will bring to publishers and text books.
Worth a read.
