"More than half of students at four-year colleges -- and at least 75 percent at two-year colleges -- lack the literacy to handle complex, real-life tasks such as understanding credit card offers, a study found." ... "Almost 20 percent of students pursuing four-year degrees had only basic quantitative skills. For example, the students could not estimate if their car had enough gas to get to the service station. About 30 percent of two-year students had only basic math skills."
I think I will go to an 8 year college as that should eliminate most of the rik of my being unable to read.

This is sad, but makes me laugh. I am twenty-three years old and still have not been able to attend college because of my views on debt. (Although I just received my acceptance to seminary for Fall 2006). And now it seems that most graduates from college (almost always with a huge loan) are more susceptible to credit card debt because of their inability to read and comprehend. Oh, the irony…
