I ran across this story a while ago, but all the papers are running updates on it today. A woman in San Diego is trying to pay for a Master’s degree.So far, so good. It’s how she’s raising the money that’s unusual. In order to pay for a degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, she’s auctioning off her virginity. Talk about a mental disconnect somewhere.
