Nothing like the lazy days of summer to prove that a college education is not worth it. Most of the kids we know are slaving away at internships, most earning nothing, and some extremely lucky ones taking home $9 an hour. Meanwhile, recent grads are competing for barista positions all over the nation. One very bright and talented Barnard girl we know had FOUR interviews, including one with the owner, before she was finally hired to prepare coffee in Chelsea.

So, if you're planning to send your kid to college, maybe you should force your student to apply for zillions of scholarships. Here is a report by a Tiger Scholarship Mom, whose daughter received seven merit awards, and has now exceeded her cost of attendance. I'm imagining the lucky gal wearing an outfit from Kohls, enjoying a burrito dinner on her loftbed (just three scholarships on her enticing list - do you win goods/merchandise in addition to funds for schools?)

If you read the following College Confidential thread carefully, it sounds as if the poster's daughter has also won some sort of lottery. I wish I could find out, and also report how many essays this girl was forced to write, but I'm too lazy to do the research. Any (unpaid) interns out there willing to help?
