"The scramble to get into college is going to be so terrible in the next few years that students are going to put up with almost anything, even an education"

- Barnaby C. Keeney

About this Quote

This quote by Barnaby C. Keeney recommends that the competition to enter into college is going to be so intense in the coming years that trainees will be willing to accept any kind of education, no matter how bad the quality. This might be due to the increasing number of students using to college, the restricted number of areas offered, or the rising cost of tuition. It might likewise be a reflection of the current state of education, where trainees are more concentrated on entering into college than on in fact discovering. The quote indicates that trainees are so desperate to get into college that they are willing to put up with an education that is not up to par. This could have severe ramifications for the quality of education in the future, as students may be more focused on entering into college than on actually discovering.
