The $50 seems low only when compared to developed countries. <BR/><BR/>Many people in Kerala would have found it difficult to come up with that amount of money. Even today.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps the amount charged for tuition in the United States prompted me to throw out that figure, but from an equivalent US per capita income, it would be around $8000. Not impossible, but still a considerable amount of money.Krishhttp://www.thoughtclusters.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7674656.post-27018289763914661692008-02-08T11:42:00.000-05:002008-02-08T11:42:00.000-05:00This $50 figure should be taken in comparison to per capita income.

Tuition is what's stopping me from going to college right now in the USA (I'm 21).<br /><br />I've been in the startup world since high school, and my hope was to make at least enough money to pay for college.<br /><br />Don't get me wrong - I enjoy startups, consulting startups, and technology; That's my dream, and I'm doing it now. I'm not really looking for a career changing opportunity to arise from college, rather, I would like to use the opportunity to learn about other things that interest me.Roberthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14935481215330976631noreply@blogger.com
