Billionaire investor, Robert Smith, said, in a graduation address at historically black Morehouse College that he and his family will pay off over $40 million dollars in student debt for the 400 graduates.
How does anyone agree to make a graduation address after that?
What could you do to top it?
Pay their rent for 5 years? Buy them a house? Send them on a world tour?
Lordy, Robert Smith, what you did will having colleges asking people like me to make the graduation address--or some guy who sweeps the floors or someone who works in the student cafeteria.
Graduation addresses are now a thing of the past.
Good for you Robert Smith.
Bad for graduation addresses.
