There is a continuing hue and cry among FReepers about the lack of value for higher education. I always suspect the hue and cry is mostly from folks that were unable or un willing to receive education after high school. It was for them that I posted the article.

and finally, the link will lead you back to the Careers publication that is in fact the Northeast State course catalog. It contains a full listing and description of course offerings

I have a married couple of 20 year old’s renting from me. The woman wants to get a job better than the one at Wal-Mart. I took time out of my busy schedule to interview her and produce and send a resume. I included several job searches and the offer of a personal reference. I called to ask if there was anything else I could do. She didn’t answer and has not responded with anything; not a thank you, not a drop dead, nothing. I do know there are nice young people. But there seems to be more of this uncommunicative type than ever before.

“Job hunting skills” automatically improve once there are actual jobs to be had.

Get the government regulators off of the backs of American business.

Ban the corporate tax, which only serves to increase the price of goods and services.
(Consumers pay all of those taxes, but the gov’t counts on voter ignorance.)

I do believe that with some exceptions (i.e. STEM), today's college degrees are not worth the paper their diplomas are printed on.

And I speak as one who has two college degrees and a teenager in high school.

That said, I do see value in post-high school training for specific careers. But a 4-year bachelors degree outside of STEM? Feh.
