Right, it probably is more profitable for me to offer student discounts. My choice may have a lot to do with the distinction between being an independent creator and being a large company. The large company is probably more likely to take the profit over some sort of "stand." Plus, large companies are a part of the "establishment" that higher institutions are. The large company also can handle the operational complexity of student discounts better. This touches on a topic I ignored in the article: Is it "right" for a company like T-Mobile to offer student discounts. In other words, are they ever so slightly perpetuating credential inflation, the need for unnecessary degrees, and the resultant predatory student lending? It may sound like a stretch. And could anyone imagine T-Mobile saying "We no longer offer student discounts because the higher education is a bully that needs to stop victimizing 17 year olds. We're taking a stand!"? Ha. Just a thought that passed through my mind that I haven't explored a great deal.
