Do we get value for our education dollars?

Its not a question of spending money, but spending money wisely.

Are we getting a good return on our precious MoCo tax dollars?

Here is an interesting perspective from today's New York Times:

from the article:

There is a total disconnect of student job expectations, college curriculums, and the realities of today’s labor market.

Something to ponder during the next round of budget discussions.
