Huffington Post reports:
Recently graduated, in debt and without a steady job, Purdue University alum Nick Enlow decided to sell his diploma on eBay, listing it for $36,000 plus $3.50 shipping and handling.
Why?
The eBay sale is part stunt and part hopeful act of desperation that an "eccentric millionaire" will pick up the tab. Either way, the Indianapolis native is serious about kick-starting conversations on the worth of a college education and how it can be paid off.
"The universities are handing out too many degrees that have zero real-world application," Enlow said. "It seems to me, almost any major in the humanities or liberal arts will not gain you employment with a bachelor's degree."
When you hear the starting salary for B.A.'s is 47K a year: did someone look at their W-2's? We think not.
