It's interesting because it's, as you said, real-world data. Where I live facebook wasn't available nor popular during the ".edu only"-era. Here Internet access is cheap and fast for most people so I would also imagine college attendees get

Yes, you are. He didn't know this was going to hit him. Just imagine the psychological impact of having everything you know change, and basically being told that 30 years of experience is worthless. How many years of savings do you really e
