What better than to give big bonuses to already handsome compensation packages. Let's not forget the nice severance pay given to the guys on their way out. I wonder what the new CEOs will get when they turn things around. None of this makes sense to me. Don't forget higher education. The highest paid university presidents are getting paid close to 3 million! With the cost of education out-pacing inflation, and with job placement(decent paying jobs) remaining mediocre, one must wonder if higher education is worth it. Sure, financial institutions are hiring like mad, promising great benefits to top achievers. Please, take a closer look at the turnover rate of those places. If you are not connected to wealthy people, its damn near impossible to make it. Getting a steady job is hard for new graduates, especially if they have student loans to cover. But don't tell the universities that. I wonder if anyone looked into possible collusion between big lenders (i.e. Sallie Mae) and universities nationwide. Is it possible to see an education recession? These days, nothing is impossible. I agree! What better than to give big bonuses to already handsome compensation packages.
