The Inappropriate Collection: Things I Shouldn’t Show My Son, #4

The Inappropriate Collection: Things I Shouldn’t Show My Son, #4

There are a lot of things I’m afraid of my child eventually becoming: addicted to drugs, interested in speed-stacking, a Brony (just kidding, Bronies. Relax.)

Joe: College

Joe: College

My friend Joe Procopio, the publisher and founder of IntrepidMedia.com, just put out a new column about the escalating cost of higher education in this country, what you actually get out of it, and whether it’s worth it. This topic has actually been on my mind a fair amount lately, partially because I’m a newRead more about Joe: College[…]
