Higher Education Bubble, IYKWIMAITYD

Posted on | August 2, 2011 | 17 Comments

If Glenn Reynolds hasn’t linked this yet, it’s only a matter of time:

As the cost of college skyrockets, and students and recent graduates get buried under “piles of student debt and a job-scarce, lackluster economy,” more and more of them are turning to “sugar daddies,” says Amanda Fairbanks at The Huffington Post. Sites like SeekingArrangement.com, SeekingTuition.com, and SugarDaddyMeet.com allow young, mostly female students to post “sugar baby” profiles and hook up with a “sugar daddy” for “mutually beneficial relationships,” which often involve a trade of money for companionship and sex. Is this a new way for today’s 20-somethings to pay for college?

Old and busted: “But you’re so much more mature than all those other silly college kids.”

New and hot: “I’m sure those student loan payments must be killing you.”

    Good God, if my daughter does this, I’ll tan her hide until she thinks she can get a set-aside.

    Yeah, he’s going to accept an honorary professorship or three.  Maybe he can start at Ohio University.
