I fear that what I wrote was somewhat misunderstood.  In my humble 
Marxist opinion, we can't ignore the messages that these students have 
gotten for a large part of their formative years - money good, no 
money bad.  I don't subscribe to that particular view of life myself - 
but we have to come to terms with the messages that these students 
were given in the materialistic 80's.  Their attitude toward money and 
education as a means to an end may be misguided, but can't be ignored 
if, as educators, we are going to teach them.  COnversationally, I 
grew up in a family of educators - not rich financially, but rich in 
ideas and discussion and knowledge.  I am a far wealthier person for 
that, then I will ever be for getting a job that pays me millions.
